“…[5][6][7]12,13,26 Our results would support the conclusion that the rate of CP alone has remained stable over the 15 years of this study. The hospitalization rates of children with CP plus at least 1 comorbid diagnosis in a CCC category has increased.…”

“…21,22 Trends in the incidence of and mortality from many specific conditions that would contribute to medical complexity (eg, CP, chronic lung disease, mental retardation, hydrocephalus, and congenital birth defects) show the occurrence of these individual conditions to be fairly stable over the recent past. [5][6][7]12,13,[23][24][25][26] On the other hand, some disorders have certainly increased in frequency. Gastroschisis is a condition with increasing prevalence over time that certainly contributes to medical complexity.…”

“…27,28 However, the number of folate-sensitive birth defects, which also contribute to medical complexity, has decreased. 23,26,29 Although individual conditions do not seem to be significantly increasing in incidence, the complexity of the case mix, especially among hospitalized children, may be increasing. The purpose of this study was to use national data to examine trends in hospitalization rates for medically complex children over a 15-year period from 1991 to 2005.…”

OBJECTIVE: In this study we used national data to determine changes in the prevalence of hospital admissions for medically complex children over a 15-year period. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Data from the Nationwide Inpatient Sample, a component of the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project, was analyzed in 3-year increments from 1991 to 2005 to determine national trends in rates of hospitalization of children aged 8 days to 4 years with chronic conditions. Discharge diagnoses from the Nationwide Inpatient Sample were grouped into 9 categories of complex chronic conditions (CCCs). Hospitalization rates for each of the 9 CCC categories were studied both individually and in combination. Trends of children hospitalized with 2 specific disorders, cerebral palsy (CP) and bronchopulmonary dysplasia, with additional diagnoses in more than 1 CCC category were also examined. RESULTS: Hospitalization rates of children with diagnoses in more than 1 CCC category increased from 83.7 per 100 000 (1991–1993) to 166 per 100 000 (2003–2005) (P[r] < .001). The hospitalization rate of children with CP plus more than 1 CCC diagnosis increased from 7.1 to 10.4 per 100 000 (P = .002), whereas the hospitalization rates of children with bronchopulmonary dysplasia plus more than 1 CCC diagnosis increased from 9.8 to 23.9 per 100 000 (P < .001). CONCLUSIONS: Consistent increases in hospitalization rates were noted among children with diagnoses in multiple CCC categories, whereas hospitalization rates of children with CP alone have remained stable. The relative medical complexity of hospitalized pediatric patients has increased over the past 15 years.

“…Target students were predominately male with four girls and 21 boys. It should be noted that males tend to predominate in prevalence figures for developmental disabilities (Bhasin, Brocksen, Avchen, & Braun, 2006;Rice, 2007) and more importantly, that this ratio was the true representation of boys to girls in the target population in the Alice Springs area. Based on diagnostic reports of the 25 target students with a developmental disability, 13 students had a primary diagnosis of an intellectual disability (eight mild, four moderate, and one severe disability) with compounding disabilities in communication and motor skills.…”

“…Children who are DHH constitute a unique subgroup of individuals whose language and communication needs often differ from those of hearing children, as well as hearing children with disabilities (American Speech-Language-Hearing Association [ASHA], 2008). Given the high percentage of children who are DHH and also are diagnosed with an additional disability or developmental delay such as vision loss, cerebral palsy, or an intellectual disability (Bhasin, Brocksen, Avchen, & Van Naarden Braun, 2006), TODs need to be well-prepared to address needs beyond those only associated with deafness. In addition to having knowledge of children's hearing loss, use of amplification and/or augmentation, and preferred mode of communication, TODs need to appreciate how hearing loss influences other developmental skills.…”

Program Monitoring Practices for Teachers of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing in Early Intervention

Program monitoring is an important and necessary assessment practice within the field of early childhood deaf education. Effective program monitoring requires a focus on both the consistent implementation of intervention strategies (fidelity) and the assessment of children’s ongoing progress in response to interventions (progress monitoring). Teachers of the deaf and hard of hearing (TODs) who provide early intervention services need to conduct regular program monitoring to evaluate the merit of their efforts. However, progress monitoring is a practice often overlooked by practitioners within the field of early intervention. It is recommended that TODs monitor children’s progress “regularly,” but evidence of such practices by TODs is as yet unavailable. In this article, we describe how TODs can use both progress monitoring and fidelity checks to achieve the goal of effective program monitoring for young children who are deaf and hard of hearing.
