“…Results for Scandinavian children with concerning screens from the ASQ/ASQ:SE were quite inconsistent compared with US studies where, at a minimum, children were routinely referred to Individuals with Disabilities Education Act EI/ECSE programmes (which are available in every county of every state). These Scandinavian children often had no clearly described follow‐up plan, or they received further assessment (typically with a psychologist or medical subspecialist) based on individualized research protocols . The literature also collectively indicates different follow‐up procedures in different regional municipalities throughout Denmark, Norway, and Sweden .…”

“…Evidence from the included articles, combined with knowledge of the Scandinavian model of preventive care, highlights many opportunities. First steps include norming the latest versions of the ASQ and ASQ:SE and then evaluating their impact in home‐visit, primary care medical, and early learning/preschool settings.…”

“…Studies generally support the ability of the ASQ/ASQ: SE to effectively and feasibly detect children with suspected developmental-behavioural problems 66,67 and to determine typical developmental pathways. 68 However, no Scandinavian ASQ-3 norming and/or validation studies, or ASQ:SE-2 norming studies, were found in our literature search. Norway had five norming and/or validation studies that used the older ASQ-2.…”

Aim The aim of this systematic review was to investigate screening practices with the Ages and Stages Questionnaires (ASQ) and the Ages and Stages Questionnaires: Social‐Emotional (ASQ:SE) in the USA and Scandinavia and to identify practical lessons and research opportunities. Method The review was performed for ASQ‐ and ASQ:SE‐related studies in children from birth to 5 years. From nine databases and 1689 references (published from 1988–2018), 127 articles were included and categorized using Covidence online software. The Critical Appraisal Skills Programme Checklists were used before data synthesis. Results US studies primarily use the ASQ/ASQ:SE to detect delays in general and at‐risk populations in medical settings, which increases early detection, clinician‐referral, and intervention rates. Scandinavian studies commonly use the ASQ/ASQ:SE to monitor developmental–behavioural differences in intervention/exposure‐based cohorts. Pre‐visit screening yields completion/return rates of 83% to more than 90% and fosters same‐day interpretation. When referrals are indicated, systemwide care coordination or colocation with a developmental–behavioural specialist is beneficial. Interpretation Practical implementation lessons are reviewed. Research opportunities include investigating and measuring the ASQ/ASQ:SE's ‘overall’ sections. Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish translations are available but up‐to‐date norming and validation studies are needed throughout Scandinavia. Randomized controlled trials are needed to investigate outcomes in screened versus unscreened cohorts. What this paper adds General and at‐risk populations broadly benefited from periodic Ages and Stages Questionnaires (ASQ) and/or Ages and Stages Questionnaires: Social‐Emotional (ASQ:SE) screening. Pre‐visit ASQ and/or ASQ:SE screenining implementation systems work best. The ASQ and ASQ:SE ‘overall’ sections are not quantifiable and under‐researched.

“…It is a widely held view that motor development can be influenced by many factors . Parental influences are crucial in the early stages of motor maturation, and among these influences, maternal intelligence and maternal education are both important determinants in the early stages of child motor development.…”

IntroductionPreterm infants are at high risk for developmental disabilities, and their parents are at increased risk for high stress. Early intervention programs are applied to reduce these adverse outcomes. The primary aim is to compare the efficacy of the novel Explorer Baby early intervention program for the holistic development of preterm infants. The second objective was to compare the stress levels of their mothers.MethodsRandomized clinical trial with 38 weeks–6 months corrected age preterm infants at low risk for cerebral palsy, randomly assigned to experimental (Explorer Baby) or active control neurodevelopmental therapy (NDT) groups. Fifty‐seven infants were enrolled in the study, and 51 (26 Explorer Baby, 25 NDT) completed it. Bayley III was used as a primary outcome before, during, and after the intervention.ResultsWhen we compared the changes between the groups before and after therapy, no significant differences were found in any of the primary or secondary outcomes (between‐group comparisons). When comparing the changes in both groups before and after therapy (in‐group comparison), the Explorer Baby group demonstrated significant improvements in cognitive (Hedges’ g = .83) and explorative language skills (Hedges’ g = .65), whereas the NDT group showed improved parent–child dysfunctional interaction (Hedges’ g = 2.66) between T0–T1 and T0–T2.ConclusionsThe Explorer Baby early intervention program may be a preferred option to support premature infants without brain injury, as it shows greater skill acquisition than NDT, although not statistically significant. Both methods are safe as they support premature babies without negatively affecting mothers’ overall stress levels.
