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

三年来，我们对0~2岁残疾婴儿，特别是唐氏综合征、听力障碍和视觉障碍婴儿的早期干预问题进行了调查。唐氏综合征婴儿的认识：1.通过对《筑波唐氏综合征婴儿早期干预计划》的婴儿发育水平的评估，我们认识到该计划不仅在运动和社会发展领域，而且在一定程度上也在语言发展领域取得了成效。这项计划使他们的母亲能够以适当的方式与残疾儿童交流。关注听力障碍婴儿：1.回顾日本对听力障碍婴儿进行早期干预的历史和现状，表明这对鼓励他们的发育进步非常有效。2.对3名2岁婴幼儿进行团体助听器测试。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更频繁地出现。3.采用问卷调查法，对家长对子女残疾的态度进行了调查，结果表明，家长对子女残疾的接受态度较为积极。关注视力障碍婴儿：1.收集了日本对视力障碍婴儿早期干预的现状。2.从生理和心理角度探讨了早期干预的必要性。

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.
