Study on the Early Intervention to the Handicaped Infants aged 0 to 2 years

三年来，我们研究了0 ~ 2岁残疾婴儿早期干预的几个问题，特别是唐氏综合症婴儿、听力障碍婴儿和视力障碍婴儿。关于患有唐氏综合症的婴儿：通过对“筑波唐氏综合征早期干预计划”中婴儿的发育水平进行评估，我们认识到该计划不仅在运动和社会发展领域，而且在语言发展领域也有一定程度的影响。在这个项目下，他们的母亲能够以适当的方式与他们的残疾孩子沟通。关于听力障碍婴儿：1 .对日本听力障碍婴儿早期干预的历史和现状的回顾表明，早期干预对促进其发展是非常有效的。2. 我们尝试在3个2岁的婴儿班级中使用小组助听器系统。在这个系统下，他们对声音和声音的开关反应比只使用个人助听器的情况下出现得更频繁。3.我们采用问卷调查的方法，调查了父母对孩子的残疾的态度，结果表明，父母对孩子的残疾持相当积极的态度。关于婴儿视力障碍：我们收集了日本视力障碍婴儿早期干预的现状。从生理和心理的角度探讨早期干预的必要性。

For three years, we investigated several problems concerning the early intervention to handicapped infants aged 0 to 2 years,especially Infants with Down's Syndrome,Infants with Hearing Impairment and Infants with Visual Impairment.Concerning Infants with Down's Syndrome : 1. By the assessment of developmental level of infants who were under 'Tsukuba Program of Early Intervention to Infants with Down's Syndrome",we recognized the effects of this Program not only in the domains of motor and social development, but also in the domain of language development to a certain extent.2. Their mothers under this Program became able to communicate with their handicapped child in the appropriate manner.Concerning Infants with Hearing Impairment : I.Review of the history and the present situation of the early intervention to the Infants with hearing impairment in Japan showed that it was very effective to encourage the progress of their development. 2. We tried to use the Group-Hearing-Aid System in the class of 3 infants aged 2 years. Their on-off reaction to voice and sound appeared more frequently under this system than the condition where they used only an individual-hearing-aid. 3.We investigated by Questionnaire method, the parent's attitude towards their child's handicap, the results showed that the parents assumed a rather positive attitude in accepting their child's handicap.Concerning Infants with Visual Impairment : 1. We gathered the data about the present situation of the early intervention to infants with visual impairment in Japan. 2. We discussed the necessity of the early intervention from the physiological and psychological points of view.
