Abstract:

This series of studies reports on the prospective and concurrent relation of attachment to a narrative based assessment of the five year old child's internal world. It relies on the exploration of a relatively new research measure designed to explore the internal world of the young child. No published studies have yet investigated the validity of this measure in relation to thoroughly tested measures of attachment patterns in infants and parents. Additionally, this study will investigate the independent contributions of mother and father. The first two chapters review the literature and introd

Abstract:

The objective of this thesis was to evaluate the construct validity, the inter-rater reliability and the prognostic potential of the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS). The analysis was carried out in a cohort of 111 children with cerebral palsy who participated in the HBO Study for children with cerebral palsy; a randomized multicentre clinical trial. Construct validity was examined by correlating the results from the GMFCS with that of the Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM), the Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (PEDI) and the JEBSEN test of hand function.

Drawings were scored using both Harris' (1963) and Naglieri's (1988) scoring systems following the procedures outlined in the manuals. Basically, the DAP test demonstrated reliable and valid properties. The Naglieri's (1988) scoring system was favored in this study because it demonstrated more consistent internal consistency, higher inter- and intra-rater reliability and satisfacto

The purpose of the present work was to study hand impairments and manual ability in children with cerebral palsy (CP) as well as to clarify their relationship. Appraising the degree of hand impairments requires normative data to differentiate the real dysfunctions of CP children from the normal difficulties according to their age, sex, or handedness. As there is no normative data for gross manual and fine finger dexterity, a first experiment focused on the normal development of manipulative functions was conducted to establish these norms.

Abstract:

Conduct disorders in children are very common. The consequences of such problems are far-reaching not least because they impact upon the quality of the parent-child relationship. Parent Management Training (PMT) is a widely recognised treatment for childhood conduct disorders although the outcomes for many children are disappointing. Theoretically, the current study considers why outcomes are not more favourable and illustrates that attention should be paid to the role of maternal cognition in the quality of mother-child relationships.

Abstract:

The concept of alexithymia refers to impairments in the ability to identify and communicate feelings. Alexithymia has repeatedly been linked to attachment impairments and different types of symptomatology, in particular, depression and somatic complaints. Very few studies have focused on children or adolescents when addressing this construct. Additionally, to date, there is no self-report questionnaire of alexithymia for such groups in the Spanish language. The main objectives of this study were therefore, (a) to translate and adapt the Alexithymia Questionnaire for Children to Spanish; (b) to

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to investigate preliminary psychometric normative data of an English dynamic assessment of narrative language for a group of diverse school-age students with and without language disorder. This study included 364 diverse students with and without language disorder ranging from kindergarten through 6th grade. Students were confirmed as having a language disorder if they had an existing active IEP for language, and scores below a certain cutoff point on a nonword repetition (NWR) task and the narrative language measure (NLM). English language proficiency was investi

Abstract:

In response to the increased emphasis in early intervention on assessing family functioning, there has been substantial effort over the past 15 years to develop instruments that can measure important aspects of family functioning with families of children with disabilities. While the multitude of recently developed family measures has given researchers and clinicians a variety of instruments from which to choose, research on the quality of the data derived from these instruments has lagged behind. Considering the importance of family functioning in current early intervention programs and the p

Abstract:

The present study examined inter-rater agreement on the Anxiety Disorder Interview Schedule DSM-IV Child and Parent Interview (ADIS-IV-C/P) in youth with autism spectrum disorder and if age and ASD diagnosis moderated agreement. Diagnoses established for 70 7-16-year-old youth with ASD during a live administration of the ADIS-IV-C/P were compared to diagnoses identified by a second rater after listening to audiotaped recordings of the interviews. Inter-rater agreement on parent and child reports was excellent (k=1.00). Inter-rater agreement on principal diagnoses (k=0.91), individual anxiety d

Abstract:

Demographic data show that public schools are faced with meeting the academic demands of a population that is becoming more ethnically and linguistically diverse. Preventative steps can give schools the opportunity to address the needs of its students before systemic inefficiencies can negatively impact student academic outcomes. For this reason, it is important that school psychologists remain vigilant regarding the most efficient and cost effective means to identify problems early. Since Spanish is the most prevalent language of children in the schools other than English, there is a need for

Abstract:

The Child Feeding Questionnaire (CFQ) is a self-report questionnaire for assessing parental attitudes to child weight and parental feeding practices. revious evaluations of its psychometric properties were conducted primarily with small to medium-sized samples ( N < 500) and a small range of children's age. The present study aims to analyze the psychometric properties of the CFQ in a large German community sample and, for the first time, to establish normative data. Within the population-based LIFE Child study, the CFQ was administered to N - 982 mothers of 2- to 13-year-old children. Psychom

Abstract:

Background: Intellectual Disability (ID) is important and has a major impact on life, quality of life, mental illness, economic and educational well-being. Little research has taken place in Africa about ID. One of the key challenges is to identify appropriate, useful, and free screening tools that might identify those at risk of ID both for clinical purposes and for prevalence studies. One tool that has been used to investigate the broad category of 'disability' (which includes ID) is the Ten Questions Questionnaire (TQQ). The TQQ has given some rates of 'disability' in lowand middle-income c
