The Way

This concluding chapter demonstrates how James Caldwell's experience highlights the way in which orphanages served as “community institutions,” serving the needs of the local people who used them. But institutional child care was contested terrain. Both the United Presbyterian Orphan's Home (UPOH) and the HCC illustrate how many different stakeholders negotiated the development of child care institutions, each with sometimes competing agendas and expectations. Similarly, the managers displayed motives of social control, wishing to not only assist poor children, but to reform poor families themselves. These managing women were the most powerful stakeholders in the orphanages, but they were never alone; their control of the institutions was mediated by constant interaction with working-class families, reformers, staff, and the broader community.

Adequate Quality

The increasing need for child care in the industrialization era as alternative care on both Taman Penitipan Anak (TPA) and Taman Anak Sejahtera (TAS) match the quality and child protection perspective. This study measures the quality of child care from three aspects, namely institutional, human resources, and service programs. This study uses a quantitative method, applying questionnaires interviewed and data processed using SPSS. The samples of this study are TPA and TAS in 9 provinces representing the diversity. The study found that about 44% of child care do not have a license which will affect services. The staffs have adequate quality but it is necessary to hold a selection process ensuring the child protection perspective and a good track record. Training is necessary to improve the knowledge and skills related to child protection and development. There is still 20% of child care that needs to improve the quality.

Child Care Institutions

This chapter analyzes how poor families' own demands helped shape the institutional landscape of child welfare in turn-of-the century Pittsburgh, as they made choices based on religious preferences as well as location and reputation. Significantly, racial prejudice limited African American families' choices and led the black community to found its own child care institutions in this period. A demographic analysis of these families who chose orphanage care for their children reveals the often multiple, overlapping crises they faced—from the loss of a spouse to disrupted support networks and inadequate housing. As parents attempted to combine wage labor and child care responsibilities, they used orphanages as a strategy for family survival.

<p>ABSTRACT</p><p>The purposes of this study were to identify the association between nutritional status, language and cognitive development and also differences of language and cognitive development between normal and stunted underfives children. The study design was a cross-sectional. Sample size was 70 children consisted of 35 normal and 35 stunted children. The highest percentage level of education of fathers and mothers only primary school and more than half of children from poor families. There was significant difference (p&lt;0.05) of language and cognitive development between normal and stunted children. It was show that normal children had higher language and cognitive development scores than stunted children. Also there was significant difference (p&lt;0.05) between age of children, mother level of education, and family income with language and cognitive development. Child care practices was no difference between stunted children and non-stunted children, non-stunted mothers child practices scores was higher than stunted children. There was a significant association between nutritional status based on Height/Age with language development (p&lt;0.05).</p><p>Key words: cognitive, language, stunting, underfives children</p><p>ABSTRAK</p><p>Tujuan dari studi ini adalah untuk mengetahui kaitan status gizi dengan perkembangan bahasa dan kognitif pada anak yang berstatus gizi normal dan stunted. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain cross sectional. Total subjek pada penelitian ini sebanyak 70 anak balita, terdiri dari 35 anak balita berstatus gizi stunted dan 35 anak berstatus gizi normal. Sebagian besar pendidikan orang tua adalah SD dan berasal dari keluarga miskin. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan signifikan (p&lt;0.05) skor perkembangan bahasa dan kognitif pada anak balita normal dan stunted berdasarkan usia balita, tingkat pendidikan ibu, pendapatan keluarga, dan besar keluarga.

Speech-language pathologists providing services to handicapped children have pointed out that special education in-service programs in their public school environments frequently do not satisfy the need for updating specific diagnostic and therapy skills. It is the purpose of this article to alert speech-language pathologists to PL 94-142 regulations providing for personnel development, and to inform them of ways to seek state funding for projects to meet their specialized in-service needs. Although a brief project summary is included, primarily the article outlines a procedure whereby the project manager (a speech-language pathologist) and the project director (an administrator in charge of special programs in a Utah school district) collaborated successfully to propose a staff development project which was funded.

Stakeholder Input

Abstract Speech-language pathologists, working in a multicultural, community-based environment for young children with special needs in Vancouver, Canada, collected information on 84 clients using AAC from a chart review. The speech-language pathologists collected additional usage information and attended a group interview to discuss barriers and facilitators of AAC. Thirty-one percent of the children were using AAC. Children aged between 16 and 72 months typically relied on multiple modes of communication, including sign, communication boards and binders, and low- and high-tech communication devices. All of the children used at least one type of unaided mode. Fifty-five percent used pictures or communication boards/displays, and 29% used technology with speech output. Similarities in usage of AAC were noted in home and child-care settings with increased use of unaided in homes and a slightly increased use of aided communication in child care settings. Speech-language pathologists reported that the time needed for AAC intervention as well as limited funding for high-tech devices continue to be major barriers. Additional research is needed to describe current AAC practices with young children particularly from minority linguistic and cultural backgrounds. Stakeholder input is needed to explore perceptions of children's usage of AAC in daily life with familiar and unfamiliar communication partners.
