The Early Recognition of Handicapping Disorders in Childhood

Abstract: SUMMARY Theoretical and practical aspects of the early recognition of handicapping disorders in young children are reviewed. In Part I, the rationale of early identification and its context within child health as a whole are considered and distinction is made between the concept of the child ‘at risk’ and that of risk registers. In Part II, a practical scheme for early identification is outlined and represented diagrammatically. Problems concerned with co‐ordination of services and availability of trained pers… Show more

“…The time-table for psychomotor development in healthy children in the first year of life has been studied in many countries and in various ethnic groups (Hindley, 1968;Touwen, 1976). Specific developmental tests have been used for the early identification of mental retardation but their predictive value appears to have been limited, and therefore these rather laborious tests are infrequently used in children's welfare centres (Hindley, 1960;Knobloch & Pasmaniack 1963;Neligan & Prudham, 1969;Rogers, 1971;McCall, Hogarty & Hurlbart, 1972;Kaminer & Jedrysek, 1983). The ages at which the major developmental steps of the first year are achieved are routinely recorded, but the prognostic value of this easily accessible information has not been exhaustively studied and the results are contradictory (Neligan & Prudham, 1969;Shapiro, Accardo & Capute, 1973;Kaminer & Jedrysek, 1983).…”
