The purpose of this research was to investigate the efficacy of the difference orientation for interpreting black children's lower average intelligence test performance. This study examines the response styles to cognitive demands of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC) exhibited by two groups of adopted black children, aged from 7 to 10 years at the time of testing, and their average IQ. One group had been adopted by middle-class white families (i.e., transracially adopted), and the second group had been adopted by middle-class black families (i.e., traditionally adopted). A significant difference in the average performance of the two groups of children was observed, favoring those adopted by white families. Multivariate analysis of variance indicated significant differences in the styles of responding to test demands demonstrated by the two groups of black children, which are conceptualized as contributors to the difference in average test score observed between them. Multivariate analysis of the helping behaviors adopted mothers exhibited when helping their children solve a difficult cognitive task revealed significant differences between black and white mothers, which are conceptualized as culturally determined.The research reported in this article was carried out in partial fulfillment of the doctoral degree at the University of Chicago.I would like to acknowledge the assistance and contributions of Daphne
Ongoing communication and care coordination are essential among patients, their family, and interdisciplinary rehabilitation team members to address the complex and changing rehabilitation needs of traumatic brain injuries. Family members of patients with traumatic brain injury commonly assume a caregiver role following discharge from inpatient rehabilitation. The Department of Veterans Affairs has adopted clinical video telehealth to promote access to care, and use of clinical video telehealth for rehabilitation is expanding. Recent implementation of home clinical video telehealth can assist with the ongoing management and treatment of patients in their home setting. This report demonstrates enhanced education and care coordination by using clinical video telehealth with a Veterans Affairs-eligible beneficiary receiving treatment for traumatic brain injury.
