“…The main outcomes of the interventions were better global CD results, greater understanding of CD and the child’s behavior as its language, improved sense of parental competence and greater maternal sensitivity, greater interaction, responsiveness and time with the child, greater use of toys and learning materials, resembling the results of other parenting interventions ( 4 , 6 , 28 - 30 , 34 ).…”

“…Review studies have shown good effectiveness of interventions focused on parenting to promote development ( 4 , 34 ), although another review points out the infeasibility of performing meta-analyses or meta-syntheses of studies of this nature, or understanding why the interventions work, due to the variability of the interventions tested ( 10 ). Adherence was mentioned in only one study ( 19 ), which did not detail the strategies used to maintain or improve it.…”

Objective: to map the characteristics of interventions to promote child development that used the Touchpoints Model. Method: this is a scoping review, guided by the recommendations of the JBI Reviewer’s Manual, carried out in nine databases, in the gray literature and in the reference list of the selected studies. The research question was “what are the characteristics of interventions with parents/caregivers and children to promote child development, from pregnancy to six years of age, based on the Touchpoints Model?”. Rayyan was used for the selection of studies and a standard form for data extraction. The analysis was carried out descriptively. Results: twelve publications were included in the review. Interventions were heterogeneous; concentrated in the period from pregnancy to three years of age; prioritized the dissemination of Touchpoints content according to age, and parenting aspects; most were performed by nurses, in Primary Health Care, and during home visits. Interventions were related to overall development, greater understanding of development and greater interaction with the child. Conclusion: studies have shown potential for favorable outcomes for child development and parenting. The variability of interventions made it difficult to map more effective characteristics.

“…A home visit also provides an opportunity to assess the overall quality of life of the family and the personal needs of the main caregiver; how are they coping, how are they feeling? Again, there are tools available to help home visitors to open these conversations either informally by providing a listening ear, or more formally by working through a questionnaire with the caregiver [43].…”

Preschoolers with disabilities and their caregivers have been neglected in health and social service provision in most low-income countries and arguably too in low resourced areas of more affluent nations. Yet as this rapid review of published literature identifies, there are low-cost, evidence-based strategies to address their needs that can be implemented in communities by local people. Five key features of the necessary supports are examined. First the leadership functions required to create and implement the support services. Second, the family-centred, home-based support provided to caregivers and the personnel undertaking this form of support. Third, providing opportunities for peer support to flourish and encouraging the formation of advocacy groups across families. Fourth, mobilizing the support of significant groups within the community; notably traditional healers and leaders; health services and poverty alleviation initiatives. Fifth, devising ways in which preschool educational opportunities can be offered to children as a prelude to their inclusion in primary schools. The review serves a further purpose. It provides an example of how public health researchers and academics could achieve more rapid implementation of evidence-based knowledge into existing and new support services through dissemination to community practitioners.
