“…Needs assessment. To develop the intervention model, a needs assessment was conducted using research evidence and assessment of the environment experienced by children exposed to cocaine in Miami-Dade County (Scott et al, 1998). The purpose of the intervention was to prevent later developmental problems, thus the primary need was appropriate developmental stimulation.…”

“…The Outcome curriculum ) was adopted, which is developmentally sequenced and based on major milestones of children who are typically developing rather than on a deficit model. The Outcome curriculum includes activities organized in the domains of social/emotional, language, cognitive, fine motor, gross motor, and self-help development (Scott et al, 1998). Each activity is organized around the headings &dquo;why,&dquo; &dquo;when,&dquo; &dquo;what to do,&dquo; and &dquo;what will happen.&dquo; In addition, to maximize parent support for appropriate stimulation, the curriculum was geared to parents with potentially low literacy by using simple language and illustrations.…”

Cocaine use during pregnancy is a high-risk indicator for adverse developmental outcomes. Three levels of intervention (center, home, and primary care) were compared in a full service, birth to age 3, early intervention program serving children exposed to cocaine prenatally. Data were collected on 130 children from urban, predominantly poor, primarily minority families. At 36 months, statistically significant, moderate to large intervention effects were found for cognition, receptive and expressive language, and gross motor development. Small effects were observed for behavior problems, and no statistically significant effects were found for fine motor or prosocial skills. Center-based care was most effective for improving language. These findings provide support that the center-and home-based early intervention programs examined in this study had positive effects on children at risk due to prenatal cocaine exposure.

“…Social work services are provided to facilitate families' coping with life stresses associated with poverty and substance abuse. Concentrated case management provides referrals for medical and social support services, job training, drug treatment, community agencies, and additional support groups (Scott, Hollomon, Claussen, & Katz, 1998). Regular visits to the center for developmental assessments of the child allow intervention and research staff to identify families in need.…”

The present study examined proximal variables in families of children prenatally exposed to cocaine and enrolled in a large-scale intervention program. Fifty-six high-risk families of children enrolled in the center-based (n = 30) or home-based (n = 26) intervention of the Linda Ray Intervention Program were interviewed. Four proximal variables were assessed: (a) quality of the caregiving environment, (b) family's regularity and predictability of daily routines, (c) caregiver's perception of the family's adequacy of resources, and (d) frequency and intensity of caregiver's experience with daily hassles. Results suggested that families of children enrolled in the center-based condition had more predictable daily routines than families of home-based participants. A family's adequacy of resources influenced the quality of the caregiving environment. Families with adequate resources were more likely to provide daily routines. Caregivers with fewer years of education were less able to establish and maintain daily routines which predicted, in part, a poorer caregiving environment.

“…Thirty children received center-based intervention services for 25 hr a week, 20 children received twice weekly home visitation, and 8 children received primary health care services from the center. The center-based and home-visitation groups were randomly assigned while the group receiving primary health care services was formed from a waiting list after the capacity for the other groups was maximized ͑for more detail, see Claussen, Scott, & Mundy 2004;Scott, Hollomon, Claussen, & Katz, 1998͒. Participants in this study were from a predominantly low SES background, with 84% qualifying for public aid such as food stamps or the Women, Infants, and Children Program.…”

This study longitudinally examined the associations between mother-infant interactions at 15 months and behavioral and cognitive outcomes at 36 months of age in a sample of at-risk, young children. Participants for the current study were 58 infants/toddlers prenatally exposed to cocaine and their maternal caregivers. These infants were from a low socioeconomic status background and were part of an intervention setting. When the children were 12, 15, and 36 months, they participated in research sessions with their maternal caregivers. Cognitive development at 12 months and maternal and infant behavior at 15 months were measured to predict behavioral and cognitive outcome at 36 months. Higher levels of maternal control at 15 months were marginally significant in predicting higher levels of problem behavior at 36 months whereas higher levels of infant resistance to control predicted lower levels of problem behavior. Furthermore, control-resistant behavior displayed by infants was a unique buffer against problem behavior, even after controlling for maternal factors and cognitive abilities. These findings suggest that maternal control attempts and infant reactions to those maternal control behaviors play an important role in the development of adaptive and maladaptive behavior patterns during early childhood.
