A Survey of Parents’ Perspective of Receiving a Developmental Diagnosis for Their Child
Receiving a diagnosis, such as cerebral palsy (CP), can have lasting impacts on caregivers and families. Previous literature has described that caregivers wish to receive a diagnosis together, without delay, in a private, direct, honest, and sympathetic way. This study aimed to understand the experience of caregivers of children with cerebral palsy (CP) or similar conditions when receiving a diagnosis for their child.: Caregivers of children and …
Investigating Pediatricians’ Practice, Knowledge, and Barriers in Diagnosing Cerebral Palsy
Background/Objectives: Data from the Canadian Cerebral Palsy (CP) Registry suggests that children in British Columbia (BC) are diagnosed, on average, at 25 months of age. This is much later than currently recommended. This study aimed to examine current practices and beliefs of pediatricians in the province related to CP and CP diagnosis. Methods: All pediatricians and subspecialty pediatricians in the province were invited to participate in two …
The Health and Well-Being of Caregivers of Children With Cerebral Palsy
Objective. Most children enjoy healthy childhoods with little need for specialized health care services. However, some children experience difficulties in early childhood and require access to and utilization of considerable health care resources over time. Although impaired motor function is the hallmark of the cerebral palsy (CP) syndromes, many children with this development disorder also experience sensory, communicative, and intellectual imp…
Caregiving process and caregiver burden
BACKGROUND: Parental care for a child with a developmental disability is an enormous responsibility, one that can far exceed that of typical parental care. While most parents adapt well to the situation of caring for a child with a disability, some do not. To understand parents' adaptations to their children's disabilities, the complex nature of stress processes must be accounted for and the constructs and factors that play a role in the caregivi…
The Ecology of Technological Risk in a Sunbelt City
In this paper we examine the spatial distributions of four types of technological hazards in the Phoenix, Arizona, metropolitan area. The focus is on the locations of hazardous industrial and toxic waste sites in relation to the demographic composition of adjacent neighborhoods. Our interest is to determine whether hazardous sites, including industrial facilities in the EPA's Toxic Release Inventory, Large Quantity Generators of hazardous wastes,…
