Balancing Standardization and Ecological Validity in the Measurement of Social Communication Intervention Outcomes.

J Speech Lang Hear Res

December 2024

Roxelyn and Richard Pepper Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders, Northwestern University, Evanston, IL.

Article Synopsis
  • The study examines how caregiver and child outcomes from a communication intervention differ when measured in family-selected settings versus standardized contexts for autistic toddlers and their caregivers.
  • After an 8-week telehealth intervention with 22 dyads, results indicated no significant differences in intervention outcomes between the two contexts, though many families selected activities not available in standardized settings.
  • The findings highlight the need for a broader approach to measuring intervention outcomes that reflects real family interactions and routines, ensuring they are meaningful and applicable to everyday life.

Early childhood (0-8 years) is a time of rapid brain development supported by spontaneous and informal learning from the surrounding environment. Meaningful contact with nature (a dynamic and varied source of informal learning) during the early years of life sets up rich scopes for such spontaneous learning-especially in the first three years, a period in life that determines all future learning, behavior, and health. Besides its learning affordances, nature-based environments provide numerous health and developmental benefits.

Article Synopsis
  • Nonocclusive mesenteric ischemia (NOMI) is rare in children but can occur after cardiac arrest, as highlighted in a case involving a 16-month-old boy in Japan who suffered from it post-resuscitation.* -
  • The boy experienced cardiac arrest due to foreign body asphyxiation and required extensive resuscitation efforts, including 10 doses of adrenaline over a maximum arrest time of 95 minutes.* -
  • After developing NOMI 40 hours later, he faced severe complications but was successfully treated with two surgical procedures and ultimately discharged, emphasizing the importance of timely intervention.*
