Abstract:

Background and Aims: There are a limited number of research-based instruments to teach parents about child development. The goal of this paper is: a) to describe the adaptation of a North-American instrument (The Portage Checklist) to teach parents or family members of 0-6 year-old special children, in ways which could enhance their children’s development and b) to describe some applications of the above instrument in Brazil.
Methods: Initially, authorization was obtained from the authors to translate to Portuguese the Portage Checklist, instrument which comprehends the following developmental areas: socialization, motor development, language, self-help, cognition, and a sixth area (infant stimulation, specific to 0-6 month infants. Secondly, the present authors have operationalized each one of the 580 behaviors listed in the Checklist, specifying four components: the child’s expected response, the needed conditions for the occurrence of the response, the materials involved, and the criteria utilized to decide if the behavior was indeed present tin the child’s repertoire. Such operationalization was possible by reviewing existing criteria in the child development literature and, thus, enabling the instrument to be used for research purposes. The final project was published as a book in Brazil.
Key results: The Operationalized Portage Checklist data can be plotted in different ways to analyze the resulting data. One helpful method is to draw a regression line that estimates optimal development, and compare it to the individual child’s data line. Multiple assessments prior to the family intervention enable the researcher to compare the line’s inclination and, thus, measure possible intervention results. The final instrument has been utilized by different professionals in Brazil, such as psychologists, kino therapists, especial education and physical education teachers, occupational therapists, among others to: 1) monitor special education children in early intervention programs; 2) intervene with institutionalized infants with global developmental delay; 3) teach undergraduate students to develop instructional material to guide parental interaction, as well as institutional infant care staff; 4) to teach child development internships at the University; 5) to enable graduate students to develop parent intervention programs; 6) to train Down Syndrome mothers to intervene with their children in clinical settings, and 7) to conduct home training of at-risk infant mothers (premature, low-birth weight, lead contamination) after hospital discharge.
Conclusions: The Instrument has been used widely in Brazil due to its thoroughness and research possibilities. |
