“…The Self-Administered Questionnaire for the Mother also contains questions on cosleeping status and total sleep duration in a 24-hour period. Given the well-known associations between education, income, sleep, and child development, 42,43 socioeconomic status (SES) was assessed (as reported by the mother during pregnancy). Statistics Canada's low-income cutoff (before tax) was used to assess income level (high versus low).…”

Contrary to the importance of total sleep duration, the association between sleeping through the night and development in early infancy remains unclear. Our aims were to investigate the proportion of infants who sleep through the night (6-or 8-hour sleep blocks) at ages 6 and 12 months in a longitudinal cohort and to explore associations between sleeping through the night, mental and psychomotor development, maternal mood, and breastfeeding. METHODS: At 6 and 12 months of age, maternal reports were used to assess the longest period of uninterrupted infant sleep and feeding method (n = 388). Two different criteria were used to determine if infants slept through the night: 6 and 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep. Mental and psychomotor developmental indices (Bayley Scales of Infant Development II) and maternal mood (Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale) were measured at 6, 12, and 36 months of age. RESULTS: Using a definition of either 6 or 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep, we found that 27.9% to 57.0% of 6-and 12-month-old infants did not sleep through the night. Linear regressions revealed no significant associations between sleeping through the night and concurrent or later mental development, psychomotor development, or maternal mood (P > .05). However, sleeping through the night was associated with a much lower rate of breastfeeding (P < .0001). CONCLUSIONS: Considering that high proportions of infants did not sleep through the night and that no associations were found between uninterrupted sleep, mental or psychomotor development, and maternal mood, expectations for early sleep consolidation could be moderated.

“…The Griffiths Mental Development Scale was developed and based on studies of child development, respecting sedimented developmental concepts and milestones. The disposition of the evaluation items as well as the analysis system allow for the diagnosis of changes in the areas of development in a specific character or global changes in development (7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14) .…”

“…It is widely used abroad, adapted and standardized for several countries (4)(5)(6) . It can be used to monitor the typical development (7,8) or to diagnose changes in developmental areas in cases of global disorders (9) , genetic or metabolic syndromes (10,11) , prematurity (12,13) , muscular dystrophy and autism spectrum disorder (14) , among others.…”

RESUMO Objetivo Apresentar a Escala de Desenvolvimento Mental de Griffiths (EDMG), bem como sua adaptação transcultural para o Brasil. Método EDMG é um instrumento diagnóstico de avaliação do desenvolvimento infantil. O resultado de sua aplicação permite verificar se o desenvolvimento é típico ou se há diagnóstico de alteração em determinada área específica (motora grossa, pessoal-social, linguagem, motora fina-adaptativa e execução) ou do desenvolvimento global. Após contato com autores, permissão de utilização da EDMG e cumprimento dos aspectos éticos, a versão do instrumento em português europeu foi adaptada para o português brasileiro, com manutenção de equivalências semântica, idiomática, experimental e conceitual. A adaptação foi realizada por duas fonoaudiólogas, experientes em avaliação de lactentes, que realizaram o curso de capacitação para aplicar o instrumento. A versão final adaptada foi aplicada em 21 lactentes com desenvolvimento típico. Resultados Foram adaptados 39 itens, sem exclusão alguma. Todos os itens foram possíveis de serem aplicados, adequados à faixa etária alvo, sem ausência de resposta em nenhum item. Conclusão A EDMG é adaptada transculturalmente em diversos países e amplamente utilizada por realizar diagnóstico em faixa etária essencial para estimulação com a plasticidade cerebral em pleno desenvolvimento. Foi realizada a adaptação transcultural da EDMG para o Brasil, transformando o cenário brasileiro em relação à atenção a lactentes. Após normatização e verificação das medidas psicométricas, será possível, além de diagnóstico precoce, melhorar a qualidade dos atendimentos a esta população; realizar estudos transculturais e publicar em revistas internacionais com a viabilidade de a EDMG ser aceita e utilizada internacionalmente.

“…Studies of the early outcomes for children with ASD indicate improvement in developmental progress with intervention 2 . Conversely, developmental progress in children with comorbid neuro‐motor disabilities or with identified chromosomal variations on the other hand is reduced 7 . Improved long‐term adaptive outcomes in children with ASD are associated with early progress in language and higher intelligence 1 .…”

Aim To explore the stability of diagnosis and the relationship between behavioural, adaptive and developmental skills in early to middle childhood in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Methods Fifty‐four children recruited to the study were diagnosed with ASD before 42 months. Outcomes at follow‐up after a mean interval of 64 months were measured using the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, Vineland‐II adaptive scale and Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children and parental survey data. Scores before school were compared with follow‐up data through descriptive, correlational and multiple regression analyses. Results ASD was confirmed in all children at follow‐up (mean age 10 years). Fifty‐eight percent of children were enrolled in a supported educational class or school and 42% were taking a psychotropic medication. Adaptive function improved significantly in 19% of children. Developmental and adaptive behavioural scores before school correlated with cognitive, behaviour and adaptive assessments at follow‐up. Conclusion At follow‐up, the diagnosis was confirmed in all children. The children showed gains in their adaptive skills but and many required ongoing educational and behavioural support. Early developmental and adaptive assessments reliably predicted later educational support needs, cognitive and adaptive function and are a useful component of a diagnostic assessment.
