Article Abstract
Significant disparities in education and social-emotional outcomes exist between racial/ethnic groups, particularly impacting children growing up in impoverished environments. Home visitation intervention programs, such as the Home Instruction for Parents of Preschool Youngsters (HIPPY), have been used for decades to improve academic readiness in these vulnerable preschool-aged children. Although the benefits of HIPPY on academic readiness and performance are well-documented, there has been no examination of social-emotional benefits to participating parent-child dyads. This study followed a HIPPY cohort over the course of 1 year to evaluate change in maternal and child social-emotional and behavioral functioning. Program participants demonstrated reduced parental stress and depression and increased parental social connection as well as reduced child externalizing behaviors and improved child adaptive functioning over the course of the program, even in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and associated lockdown. These data highlight the additional benefits of early home-based academic intervention programs.

Background: Small infants face more developmental risks than their full-term peers, necessitating early intervention and long-term monitoring.
Objectives: This study examined the longitudinal developmental and hearing outcomes of small infants attending a high-risk clinic in a South African low-income community setting.
Method: A short-term longitudinal within-subject descriptive study design was employed, where 28 participants underwent hearing and developmental screenings and assessments at two follow-up appointments (T1 and T2), at 6- and 12-month corrected age.
Challenges in higher education: Differences between students with and without specific learning disorder and the moderating role of executive functions.

Students with Specific Learning Disorders (SLD) face difficulties not only in academic skills but also in the social, emotional, and executive function (EF) domains. These challenges may increase vulnerability to rumination-a repetitive and maladaptive focus on distress, which is strongly linked to emotional difficulties. This study explores differences in academic, social, emotional, and EF challenges between students with and without SLD and investigates whether these challenges moderate the relationship between SLD and rumination.

Many children with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities benefit from augmentative and alternative communication strategies (AAC) to increase their communicative competency. Furthermore, caregiver-implemented AAC interventions are an effective and efficient strategy to improve communication outcomes. We reviewed the caregiver-implemented AAC intervention literature to assess child and caregiver characteristics, what kind of interventions caregivers were taught, how caregivers were trained, and how studies evaluated caregiver implementation.

Brain health is an emerging concept that is gaining international attention. It encompasses cognitive, sensory, social-emotional, behavioral, and motor functions that enable people to reach their maximum potential throughout all stages of life. With substantial preventable components, neurological diseases-including stroke and dementia-are the second largest cause of death worldwide and of disability-adjusted life years (DALYs).

Importance: Early identification and treatment of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms in preschool-age children is important for mitigating social, emotional, and academic problems. Clinical practice guidelines recommend first-line behavior intervention before considering medication treatment for children aged 4 to 5 years.
Objective: To assess variation in rates of ADHD identification and rates and timing of medication initiation in children aged 3 to 5 years in primary care settings across 8 US pediatric health systems and to identify patient factors associated with the time from diagnosis to prescription.
