Study on the professional procedures, experiences and needs of parents when they are told their child
has a disability or developmental disorder. Breaking the news
Introduction. Both the moment and the way chosen to break the news that a child aged 0-6 years is suffering, or may
suffer, from a developmental disorder or disability have an effect on the parents and on the familial system that goes
beyond the actual fact of knowing about the circumstance in itself. It is a very significant social act that represents the first
encounter in which the parents explore and anticipate the social attitudes of inclusion or exclusion towards the child.
Aims. To gather information about the practices usually employed by professionals when it comes to breaking the news
to the families, to evaluate what aspects of the process could be improved, to determine the families’ needs in these
circumstances and to gain a deeper understanding of the affective-emotional processes experienced by the parents.
Subjects and methods. The research was conducted using a questionnaire with 43 items, which was specifically designed
for the population under examination in the study. Altogether, 418 parents from 15 different autonomous regions of Spain
took part in the study. At the same time, the existing literature on diagnostic information in Spanish was reviewed.
Results and conclusions. It can be concluded that, to ‘break the bad news’, professionals must know the family; they must
take the utmost care in choosing when, where and how to give that news; the parents must be together when they are
told; and they must take into account the type of disability the child suffers from as well as its intensity. These guidelines
of conduct become manifest in strategies and keys to be applied to each situation, in the contents of the messages to be
communicated and in the attitudes of professionals.
Key words. Breaking the news. Disability. Early care. Emotional impact. Familial impact.
Introducción. El momento y la forma de transmitir la noticia de que un hijo de 0-6 años sufre, o puede sufrir, un trastorno en el desarrollo o discapacidad produce un efecto en los padres y en el sistema familiar que trasciende en sí el hecho de conocer esta circunstancia; es un acto social muy relevante que representa el primer encuentro en el que los padres exploran y anticipan las actitudes sociales de inclusión o exclusión hacia el niño. Objetivos. Recabar información sobre las prácticas habituales de los profesionales a la hora de dar la primera noticia a las familias, evaluar qué aspectos del proceso podrían mejorarse, conocer las necesidades de las familias en estas circunstancias y profundizar en la comprensión de los procesos afectivo-emocionales que experimentan los padres. Sujetos y métodos. Para el desarrollo de la investigación se ha utilizado un cuestionario con 43 ítems, diseñado específicamente para la población objeto de estudio, en el que han participado un total de 418 progenitores, quedando representadas 15 comunidades autónomas. Al mismo tiempo, se ha revisado la bibliografía existente en lengua española referida a la información diagnóstica. Resultados y conclusiones. Se concluye que, para transmitir la ‘primera noticia’, es necesario que los profesionales conozcan a la familia, que cuiden al máximo cuándo, dónde y cómo se da esta noticia, que los padres estén juntos al recibirla, y que tengan en cuenta el tipo de discapacidad que padece el niño y su intensidad. Esas pautas de actuación se concretan en estrategias y claves de situación, de contenido del mensaje y de actitudes del profesional.

Its main aim is to propose an effective universal screening procedure for early identification of developmental disorders in children from zero to three years of age who attend Galician pre-primary schools. "A_Tempo" includes a three-stage approach and uses different screening tools among which the Age and Stages Questionnaires (ASQ) play a relevant role. In this article, we evaluate and study ASQ performance in Galicia comparing "A_Tempo" results with other research studies previously conducted in the USA and Norway.

Transitions of Truants: Community Truancy Board as a Turning Point in the Lives of Adolescents

The challenge is to identify interventions that can successfully reintegrate students back into a school setting in a manner that encourages continued attendance and involvement. One such program is the West Valley Community Truancy Board in Spokane, Washington. In addition to the truancy board process, the program employs a court-appointed officer to mentor students and manage the overall process of identifying and attending to the risks and needs that promote truancy. Guided by Sampson and Laub’s (1993) age-graded theory of informal social control and Cullen’s (1994) application of social support to delinquency, the current analysis seeks to determine the overall effectiveness of the truancy board based on both quantitative analyses of outcomes and qualitative interviews with key actors. We discuss the implications for the ongoing theoretical, empirical, and policy debates surrounding truancy intervention.

Teaching practices in natural settings such as activity-based intervention (ABI) are suggested as alternatives to
be used in effective early childhood education. As a multidisciplinary model, ABI consists of four components,
which are choosing activities according to the child’s interests; teaching generalizable goals embedded in routines
and planned activities; and using before and after behavior stimuli which have natural and meaningful
relations with behaviors. The benefits of using ABI within instructional settings include providing children with
multiple-practice opportunities; teaching the target skill within the framework of daily routines without further
need for any extra activity; focusing on children’s interests and intrinsic motivation; and enhancing the level of
success in educational settings. Considering these advantages and benefits, one can state that practices based
on activity-based intervention can be used effectively for children with developmental disabilities from various
age and disability groups. This article included descriptions and examples of activity-based intervention.

This study aims to examine the session goals and their realization during the session flow for a child with a hearing loss and his mother in an early intervention program. The study was designed as a case study. Video recordings of the intervention sessions, reflective journals,
session plans, and the plan evaluations were used to collect and analyze the data. Findings indicate that session goals focused on the mother-child interaction, the use of language learning opportunities during the interaction, improving the mother’s play skills, improving the child’s listening skills, and behavior management of the child. Daily routines,
observations during the sessions and theoretical background of the teacher seem to be important factors while establishing the session goals.
