“…Yet on a cognitive and verbal test such as the Binet, the superiority of the higherfunctioning children was evident. (3) Despite overall improvement in raw scores, the IQ scores of these children remained unchanged, replicating findings from higher-functioning samples (Hingtgen & Bryson, 1972). This sug-gests that, despite intensive input, improvement may be relatively limited.…”

Fourteen originally mute, low-functioning autistic children, exposed to intensive simultaneous communication training, were followed up 1 to 4 years later. Psychometric testing, communication assessment, and teacher and parent interviews were employed. Results showed that at least half of the children who had become verbal by program termination remained verbal at follow-up. Higher-functioning and verbal children performed overall better than their lower-functioning and mute peers. Children exposed longer to the intensive program and those exposed to good schooling after termination fared better at follow-up, as did those whose parents were more involved in their training. Yet teachers and parents employed mainly speech rather than signs to communicate with these children, despite the children's difficulty with speech. Compared to the verbal children, who recalled signs and words equally well, the mute children recalled signs better than words. The findings are discussed for their relevance to choice of communication training with different subgroups of autistic children.

“…The focus of research varies from the mother [1,2] to the more recent emphasis on the father [3], to the study of the concomitant influence of both father and mother who, together with the child, constitute the basic family unit [4]. The tendency is to attribute children's pathology (e.g., anxieties, schizophrenic tendencies, learning and interpersonal difficulties) to a disharmonious family structure, where the parents vary considerably from each other [5,6,7,8]. However, some stress the positive motivating pow-er for further development of the perception of contrasts [4,9,10].…”

Perceived similarity versus contrast between kibbutz parents and their preadolescent children's adjustment

Parents' characteristics and the behavioral manifestations of 100 two-parented, 10- to 13-year-old kibbutz children were analyzed in a 2 x 2 fractiorial design (boys versus girls x girls x parents similar versus different) to assess the effect to parental degree of socially perceived similarity on their children's adjustment. It is found that children of similar parents had more positive interpersonal relationships but more fears, especially the boys, while children of contrasting parents had more negative interpersonal relationships, with the boys exhibiting fewer fears. It seems that a unified family structure reinforces a normative social behavior, but it fosters dependency and restricts breadth of preception and possibilities for exercising diversity in behavior. It leaves boys, even within the kibbutz egalitarian educaiton, less confident in acting independently.

“…At the level of profound handicap, techniques of ego reconstruction through play are designed to promote visual and physical contact (Hingtgen & Bryson, 1972). Parallel physical activity, or synchronism, is designed to lead to a heightencd awareness of self and significant others.…”
