AIM Achondroplasia is characterized by delays in the development of communication and motor skills. While previously reported developmental profiles exist across gross motor, fine motor, feeding, and communication skills, there has been no prospective study of development across multiple areas simultaneously.METHOD This Australasian population-based study utilized a prospective questionnaire to quantify developmental data for skills in children born from 2000 to 2009. Forty-eight families from Australia and New Zealand were asked to report every 3 months on their child's attainment of 41 milestones. Results include reference to previously available prospective information. RESULTSInformation from questionnaires was used to develop an achondroplasia-specific developmental recording form. The 25th, 50th, 75th, and 90th centiles were plotted to offer clear guidelines for development across gross motor, fine motor, feeding, and communication skills in children with achondroplasia.INTERPRETATIONS Consistent with results from previous research, children with achondroplasia are delayed in development of gross motor and ambulatory skills. Young children with achondroplasia demonstrate a number of unique movement strategies that appear compensatory for the biomechanical changes. While delays were seen in development of later communication items, there were fewer delays seen across development of early communication, fine motor, and feeding skills.Achondroplasia is the most common form of non-lethal skeletal dysplasia, with an estimated prevalence of 0.36 to 0.60 per 10 000 live births (1 of 27 780-1 of 16 670) making it a low incidence, but not uncommon condition. 1 The primary biomechanical and anatomical differences seen in individuals with achondroplasia, which include marked limb shortening (more evident proximally than distally), macrocephaly, ligamentous laxity, and hypotonia, are known to contribute to developmental delays in motor skills, particularly during the first 2 years. [2][3][4][5][6][7] The delays seen in achievement of motor milestones indicate a clear need for achondroplasia-specific developmental trajectories against which to measure milestone attainment, allowing children to be compared directly with their peers. Three studies over the past 30 years have provided clinicians and families of children with achondroplasia with scattered, populationspecific developmental profiles across a range of gross motor, fine motor, feeding, and communication skills. 2,4,6 Despite available information, only one study evaluated skill development across multiple areas simultaneously. 4 Assembling condition-specific developmental profiles through prospective longitudinally-based studies for a lowincidence condition is challenging, and data on milestone attainment for many rare conditions have been provided through retrospective reviews of parent recall or chart audits. [8][9][10] However, while providing valuable information regarding development, use of data gathered through retrospective recall may influence accurac...

“…4,46 Preplacement factors such as prenatal drug and alcohol exposure, prolonged institutionalization, multiple placements, and previous abuse and neglect contribute significantly to the emotional problems of these children. 27,40,46 When available, pediatricians should take into consideration any history of mental health diagnoses in members of the birth family, watching a child carefully with the use of validated screening tests, such as the Pediatric Symptom Checklist, 48 Brief InfantToddler Social Emotional Assessment, 49 or Ages and Stages Questionnaire: Social-Emotional, 50 that can be performed in the pediatric office. Appropriate referrals should be made when such a risk presents itself.…”

Children who join families through the process of adoption often have multiple health care needs. After placement in an adoptive home, it is essential that these children have a timely comprehensive health evaluation. This evaluation should include a review of all available medical records and a complete physical examination. Evaluation should also include diagnostic testing based on the findings from the history and physical examination as well as the risks presented by the child’s previous living conditions. Age-appropriate screens should be performed, including, for example, newborn screening panels, hearing, vision, dental, and formal behavioral/developmental screens. The comprehensive assessment can occur at the time of the initial visit to the physician after adoptive placement or can take place over several visits. Adopted children should be referred to other medical specialists as deemed appropriate. The Section on Adoption and Foster Care is a resource within the American Academy of Pediatrics for physicians providing care for children who are being adopted.

“…In this context the Social Skills Rating System (SSRS) Preschool Level (Gresham & Elliott, 1990) may be cited, reissued as the Social Skills Improvement System (SSIS) Rating Scales (Gresham & Elliott, 2008) and considered the most popular test in the assessment of children's social skills (Matson & Wilkins, 2009). Also, the Ages and Stages Questionnaires -Social Emotional (ASQ-SE) (Squires, Bricker, & Twombly, 2002) and the Preschool and Kindergarten Behavior Scales -2nd edition (PKBS-2) (Merrell, 2002a) are prominent.…”

Abstract:The assessment of preschoolers' social skills represents a topic of growing importance in research recently developed in the field. The purpose of this article is to present confirmatory factor analyses studies for the Social Skills scale of the Preschool and Kindergarten Behavior Scales -Second Edition (PKBS-2), a behavior rating scale that evaluates social skills and problem behaviors, adapted and validated for Portuguese preschool children. The 34 items of the Social Skills scale, distributed on three subscales (Social Cooperation/Adjustment, Social Interaction/Empathy and Social Independence/ Assertiveness), were grouped into item-parcels. Model adjustment was analyzed for the total sample (N = 2000) and the analyses were replicated for the subsamples collected in the home (n = 1000) and school settings (n = 1000). The factor structure was very stable for the three samples, with high internal consistency levels and correlations between parcels/scales. The results highlight the utility/validity of the Social Skills scale of the PKBS-2 (Portuguese version).
