“…Our finding for balance subset scale score was comparative with the study outcome done by Cushing et al (2008) on control group on static and balance function in children. The difference in findings in our study compared to the published age-adjusted mean could be due to the contribution of different culture and environment of the subject's life style, which may affect the skill and ability of the motor activities (Chow et al 2001;Hickey et al 2000 andSchneider et al 1995). This current study showed scale score for subset running, speed, and agility were negatively correlated with age.…”

Early identification of any vestibular dysfunction and balance problem in children is crucial for their general well-being. However the identification process, could be challenging and difficult as compared to adults. We conducted a preliminary study to review our initial experience with ocular and cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (oVEMPs and cVEMPs), video head impulse test (vHIT) and Bruininks Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency II (BOT-2) on healthy children and also to determine the feasibility of these tests in this population. Twenty one normal healthy children (12 boys and 9 girls), aged between 6 and 15 years old (mean age, 11.15 ± 2.54 years) participated in the study. They underwent oVEMPs and cVEMPs elicited with bone conduction stimulus via minishaker and air conduction stimulus respectively. All six semicircular canals were assessed using the vHIT. Bilateral coordination, balance, running, speed and agility which are the three subsets of BOT-2 gross motor assessment were conducted for balance assessment. All subjects completed the vestibular and balance assessment except for 1 subject who did not complete the vHIT vertical component. The response rate was 100% for oVEMPs, cVEMPs, and BOT-2, and 95.24% for vHIT. The mean latency and mean amplitude for n10

“…Higher mean scores in Australian children tested using US norms have been reported on a number of developmental and intelligence tests, and it has been suggested that cultural issues may alter the rate of maturation as well as the performance on individual test items 24 25. The test's publishers suggest that the elevated scores are possibly due to demographic changes 26.…”

Healthy term Australian children have a statistically significantly higher mean score on the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development (version-III) compared with the standardised means in four of the subtests, with the greatest difference in receptive language. This has implications for the assessment of children as the test may miss those with a minor delay and not reflect the severity of delay of infants that it does identify. We recommend that consideration ought to be given to re-standardising this assessment on Australian children.

“…As the Vineland SEEC Scales were developed in the USA, it was important that the interview questions were culturally appropriate to the Australian parents and guardians in this research. In a study using the Miller assessment for preschoolers, which compared the performance of Australian children to that of the USA norms, Hickey, Froude, Williams, Hart and Summers (2000) changed particular test items to increase the test's cultural relevance to Australian children. The wording of three questions within the Vineland SEEC Scales was changed to suit the Australian sample in this study in order to increase the scales cultural relevance to Australia.…”

Background and Aims: Play is the primary means through which children develop skills and socially interact with other children. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between pretend play and social competence in 4-5-year-old typically developing children, thereby adding further knowledge to the construct validity of the ChildInitiated Pretend Play Assessment (ChIPPA). Procedure: The pretend play ability of 35 preschool children aged 4-5 years was assessed using the ChIPPA. Parent/ guardians of the children were interviewed regarding their child's social competence using the Vineland SocialEmotional Early Childhood Scales (Vineland SEEC Scales). Main Findings: No significant correlations were found between the children's play scores and their Vineland SEEC Scales scores. A significant and negative relationship was found between cooperation and sharing and elaborate play scores, suggesting that children who scored poorly on the play assessment were rated as cooperative by parents. Principal Conclusions: Parent report of social competence cannot be inferred from play scores. Reasons for the negative and significant finding are put forward and clinical implications of the findings are discussed. Additional investigations are necessary to further explore the construct validity of inferring social competence using the ChIPPA.
