Annotation: The goal of this project was to develop and implement comprehensive and family-centered approaches to early identification, assessment, and treatment of infants and young children who are at risk for or suffering from emotional and/or regulatory difficulties. To this end, the Regional Center for Infants and Young Children: (1) Monitored types of families and children referred to and receiving services from an agency specializing in the early detection of emotional disorders or potential risk; (2) developed principles and technology to identify infants and young children/families at risk for psychosocial and developmental difficulties; (3) developed comprehensive, family-centered approaches to assessment and diagnosis; (4) developed prevention-oriented, family-centered approaches to intervention; (5) developed and disseminated technical assistance and training approaches; (6) engaged State and local maternal and child health (MCH) agencies in the project; and (7) accessed multiple financial resources to support its efforts.

Porges S. 1998. Regulatory Disorders and Developmental Outcomes: [Final report]. College Park, MD: University of Maryland at College Park, 53 pp.

Annotation: The overall goal of the project was to identify during infancy the measurable precursors of severe behavioral and emotional disorders. The study recruited 80 infants with regulatory disorders and 80 normal peers (matched for socioeconomic status, minority group status, presence or absence of father in home, number of children in family, and parenting stress). The regulatory disordered infants and control infants were assessed at 9 months and followed at 24 and 36 months. A comprehensive battery was administered at each assessment point. Mothers completed questionnaires on child temperament, child behavior problems, parenting stress, and demographic information. At 36 months, children received an evaluation to assess behavioral and emotional difficulties. [Funded by the Maternal and Child Health Bureau]
