Prevention Strategies for Developmental Disabilities: An Annotated Resource Listing.
Hedrick, Bonnie M.; And Others
This listing of print and non-print resources related to the prevention of developmental disabilities is intended for use by health professionals and the general public. An introductory section defines developmental disabilities, offers a statement of the problem in Ohio, and describes Ohio's system for prevention/early intervention and the Ohio Developmental Disabilities Prevention Continuing Education Project. The resource list is then divided into three sections: preconceptual, prenatal, and postnatal. The section on preconceptual resources covers genetic inheritance and preparation for pregnancy. The prenatal resources section focuses on maternal lifestyles, nutrition, prenatal care, maternal age, and maternal diseases and infections. The section on postnatal resources lists items on child abuse, childhood infections, head/spinal cord injuries, infant and child care, lead and other poisoning, malnutrition, and near drowning. Each section lists pamphlets, brochures, fact sheets, videotapes, and filmstrips. The listings include title, author, audience level, format, length, date, availability, ordering information, and brief annotation. A final section of training resources lists pamphlets and audiovisual materials on prevention of developmental disabilities; newsletters and journals on early identification and intervention; bibliographies, resource directories, and training packages; national information clearinghouses; Ohio-specific training resources; and related books and articles.
