Intensive behavioral and developmental intervention - twenty to forty hours per week -- is often recommended to children with autism. A new, large, well-executed, meta-analysis factoring data from 9,038 children across 144 published studies casts doubt on this one-size-fits-all guidance. The authors' review, published in JAMA Pediatrics, did not find evidence indicating that increasing the amount of intervention produced better outcomes. Clinicians should consult with families to tailor the intensity of proposed intervention, given the child's specific developmental readiness and without impinging on the positive effects of spontaneous exploration, play and routines. This paper is certain to be controversial. Take the time to read it before passing judgement.

The comprehensive care and treatment strategies employed to support children who have cerebral palsy, a group of neurological disorders that affect movement, posture, and muscle coordination. Pediatric patients with cerebral palsy require a multidisciplinary approach to address the unique needs and optimize the physical, developmental, and overall well-being. It typically involves medical, therapeutic, and educational interventions tailored to each child's specific challenges and goals. It aims to maximize a child's functional abilities, minimize limitations, and enhance the quality of life. Submissions are open on a broad spectrum of topics related to pediatrics.

Guys. This means that for 27% of children, us dads are not in the picture. We can do better. We need to do better. Let’s pump our fellow papas up and help them take the reins, with pride. DADMODE.

Can We Better Protect Our Adolescents from the Shadows of Suicidality? Journal of Developmental & Behavioral Pediatrics, Oct/Nov 2023 A recent study by Dr. Jessica Kenny et al. reveals critical insights into adolescent mental health. Out of over 2100 adolescents, 7% reported suicidal ideation (SI), highlighting an urgent need for effective interventions in pediatric care. Key findings advocate for: • Integrated behavioral health referrals. • Stronger caregiver involvement. This research stresses the importance of a family-centered approach in reducing SI among adolescents. 🔗 [DOI: 10.1097/DBP.0000000000001217] 🔍 #MentalHealthAwareness #AdolescentHealth #pediatriccare

Adolescent patients can present with an infinite combination of issues, questions, scenarios, and life experiences, which makes it challenging to define the scope of conversation topics to be covered during annual doctor’s visits. A team of researchers from Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, including Clinical Futures’ expert Dr. Brian Jenssen, have developed and implemented an EHR-embedded adolescent health questionnaire and usage model to improve individualized care. This model has now been adopted by more than 30 primary care practices.

"Children need to develop a variety of skill sets to optimize their development and manage toxic stress. Research demonstrates that developmentally appropriate play with parents and peers is a singular opportunity to promote the social-emotional, cognitive, language, and self-regulation skills that build executive function and a prosocial brain" American Academy of Pediatrics.
