Perception and interpretation of explicit negations by learning-disabled children and adolescents.

The present study evaluated and compared the preception and interpretation of 21 explicit negative sentences by 15 learning disabled third graders and 15 controls, 20 learning disabled adolescents and 20 controls, and 16 randomly selected adults. The proportions of correct interpretations of the experimental sentences did not differ significantly among subject groups. In a similar vein the proportions of correct responses to individual test items did not differ significantly. The findings suggest that the learning-disabled third graders and adolescents adequately perceived the stressed negated elements and interpreted the meanings of the explicit negative sentences appropriately. These findings conflict with previous observations that dyslexic children experienced problems in processing prosodic suprasegmental features (Vogel, 1974).

Multidimensional problems and findings in developmentally disabled children.

The background factors, problems, findings, and recommendations emerging from the interdisciplinary evaluation of 301 children referred to the Duke Developmental Evaluation Center for assessment of suspected development disabilities are analyzed. The perspective on developmental disabilities gained from utilization of a problem-oriented clinical record and a functional rather than a categorical approach is discussed. Particular attention is directed toward the frequency of findings in various dimensions of functioning and the implications arising from this comprehensive analysis for the roles of pediatricians, parents, and teachers in case management.

Frambu Health Centre: promoting family focused care for disabled children.

During the last 30 years the Frambu Health Centre has evolved from a summer-camp site for children with poliomyelitis to a modern information and treatment Centre for families with disabled members. Since 1976, fortnightly courses have been held for an increasing number of patients with rare, often congenital and/or hereditary disorders (anorectal anomalies, bladder extrophy, congenital heart defects, cystic fibrosis, severe diabetes, hemophilia, hip joint defects, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, minimal brain dysfunction, muscular dystrophy, phenylketonuria, psychosis/autism, spina bifida, Huntington's chorea, osteogenesis imperfecta, retitinitis pigmentosa, a. o.). This article describes the facilities, operation, financing and staff at Frambu. An outline of the course programme is given. The contents of two research projects carried out at Frambu are described. When families with rare disorders meet for the first time, new perspectives open up. Exchange of experience and feelings, establishing lay organizations, collating and distributing information to professionals and families are some of the important results of the Frambu courses.
