Overall, we found that more helpful and better resourced community environments improved physical activity and quality of life for 4–5-year-old children, while children who were more involved in their community activities tended to have higher quality of life. These findings were similar for children who were born < 30 weeks’ gestation and at term. This paper highlights the potential for interventions which promote community participation or improve community environments when aiming to support physical activity and quality of life for preschool age children.

Self-injurious behaviour (SIB) is relatively common in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) with an estimated prevalence of up to 42%. In those most severely affected there is a risk of life-altering and life-threatening injury to the individual themselves, the impact on caregivers is not well-understood. This study aims to describe the experiences of family caregivers of children with ASD and SIB through the use of qualitative methodology. In-depth semi-structured one-on-one interviews were conducted with 12 family caregivers, transcripts were then analyzed and three main themes were developed. Through our analysis it became clear that SIB is associated with multiple and complex challenges for children and their families. These findings highlight the need to prioritize the development of effective therapies and increased availability of appropriate resources for childern with SIB and their families.

Informed consent in assisted reproductive technology (ART) is a complex, multifaceted process. Given the short- and long-term risks associated with ART, neurodevelopmental physicians can benefit from a better understanding of this process when evaluating patients for neurodevelopmental disability.

This study outlines efforts to establish expert consensus on key therapist-supported intervention principles for interventions spanning the NICU-to-home transition. A modified Delphi technique was utilized to seek opinions from independent and relevant interdisciplinary experts on the use of interventions during the transition from NICU to home. Results showed strong consensus on four key intervention principles: building caregiver-child relationships, optimizing infant development, providing education and knowledge sharing, and enriched environments.
