A custody and placement evaluation of an infant with a psychotic, mentally retarded mother.

An emergency evaluation was requested on a 16-week-old infant and her parents. The child's mother had a long history of schizophrenia and mental retardation and was noted to decompensate following the child's birth; the mother was hospitalized and the child placed in foster care. Although the mother was severely impaired, the family had a reasonable and appropriate plan for the infant's care and reunification of the family was recommended. Aspects of custody and placement recommendations, the risk of the child for subsequent disorder, and legal issues involved in the evaluation are discussed.

On the efficacy of early intervention programs.

This article summarizes some of the recent literature on early intervention programs and their short and long-term results. The trend away from programs that focus primarily on cognitive approaches toward more comprehensive services to children and families is considered a step forward. Similarly, the use of broad measures of adaptation and social competence for measuring program effectiveness rather than cross-sectional IQ outcomes appears to be a sound approach. Evaluations of Headstart, The Perry Preschool Program, and the Yale Child Welfare Program are cited as illustrations.
