visiting program was started
for children from birth to two
years of. age.
A child's development can
be "at risk" for a number of
reasons: mental retardation,
prematurity, low birth
weight, . complications, at
birth, physical deformity,
brain damage . and
inadequate care or lack of
emotional bonding related to
socioeconomic'' dis-
advantages, low maternal
education Or poor maternal
mental health.
CHILD IS REFERRED
An infant . be referred
to the program on the basis
44.4ny of *Seal* factors,
he.pre.}s *going
to•show clear developmental
delays. The referrals come
most often from
pediatricians, health nurses
and variouS°'social agencies
such as `Family and.
Children's Services. •
Anyone can make a
referral. Unfortunately, said
Mrs. Evans, not Many
people know the program
exists. -
The aims of the program
are preventive: It. has s been
proven in research studies
that early intervention
reduces the severity or in:
cidence of developmental
problems' of the infant in
later years.
"Early recognition and
identification of the problem
before .the • child gets to
school is the key," she ex-
plained. '
• As soon as possible -after a
referral, a preliminary.
assessment is done in the
infant's home by two
program staff members. If
they agree the infant will
benefit, an individual
program is set up.
Jacqueline was referred to
Mrs. Evans by the Thames
Valley Crippled Children's
Centre in London -soon after
she was born. She then was
given a complete psycho-
logical test by Mrs. Evans
and the director of the infant
stimulation program at
CPRI and a learning
program was organized.
This involves mainly
games which require the
child to • perform certain
tasks. They can be in-
corporated into her daily
activities to help her with
hand -eye coordination,
langii'age, independence,
gross motor skills and fine
motor skills. Some special
toys are supplied by CPRI
and toys in the home are
used also.
"Jacqueline has a very
strong personality and has
made some . great gains.
Every three months we set
different goals for her. The
main one now is getting her
to walk and accept the
braces on her legs,°' said
Mrs. Evans.
She visits Jacqueline
every two weeks for one and
a half hones. Some of the
infants in the program are
visited more often and some
less often, depending on the
severity of their problems.
TRAINING & SUPPORT
Parent training and
support are very important
aspects of the program, Mrs.
Evans exp dined, and Mrs.
Pentland agreed.
]I. w ldri't want to have
been wi lonl the program in
the .legs i g, I wouldn't
have la -M islt l'rhat to do," she
said. -
Mrs ala►"tons, who took
special,infan"t, developmental
training at TRI before the
program„ , torted in 1979,
teaches sit ial games to the
parents rad ►ftteen asks them
to.keep:rec ids of their in-
fant's pr. ` s.
Dealing th an infant's
tem .
am�� and
per getting
the infant *cooperate often
are the most- difficult tasks.
Games are made fan - to
motivate the infant and
rewards often' ;are given.
Mrs. Evans explained that
much of what she does in-
volves just common sense.
She also has developmental
books which she can loan to
parents and, ,:through the
visiting program, all the
CPRI and Thames Valley
services can be used. Such
services include:. a speech
therapist, physiotherapist,
occupational therapist, .psy-
chologist and-. special toys
and equipment such as
I walkers or braces.
"Most parents iSppreciate-
what I am doing and look.
forward to my visits. That
makes my job enjoyable,"
Mrs. Evans said.
r
t
• Where possible, she tries
to include the whole family
in her visits. If there are
brothers or sistersthey learn
games and exercises they
can do with their infant
sibling. Sometimes she must
work' - with babysitters if
parents are .working, or with
foster parents if the infant
has been taken out of its
home:
Her visits end when infants
reach the age of two. Many
of them go on to specialized
nursery schools -for
physically, mentally ;or
emotionally handicapped
children in places like
Wingham; Exeter or
Vanastra.' Some' "go
regular nursery schools."
Every infant starts to
learn in the first days of life.
and many crucial phases of
learning take place 1 long
before, he or she goes to
school. Therefore preventive
intervention through such
programs as home visiting is
justifiable, Mrs. Evans said.
Unfortunately, even in the
International Yea?.. of the
Disabled, most' people in.
Huron Countymre' not aware
that such a program exists.
If you have . questions
about the program or if,you
would like to make a
referral, contact Rosemarie
Evans at the Public Health
Unit in Clinton.
