Children with a significant cognitive and motor developmental delay (SDD) are vulnerable for the development of (future) behavioral and mental health problems. To support children within this target group, knowledge on their social-emotional development is necessary. Therefore, in this paper, an explorative assessment of the changes in the social-emotional functioning of children with SDD over a two-year period was done. Yearly semi-structured interviews with one or more primary caregiver(s) of 25 children were conducted and analyzed on 13 domains of social-emotional functioning, according to an adapted version of the Scale for Emotional Development - Revised (SED-R). This study showed a lot of variation in individual and group patterns of change across the two-year period. Charting the social-emotional development in this target group is challenging and requires further in-depth analysis of individual trajectories as well as more fine-grained and long-term data collection.
患有显著认知和运动发育迟缓（SDD）的儿童易出现（未来的）行为和心理健康问题。为了支持这一目标群体中的儿童，了解他们的社会情感发展情况很有必要。因此，本文对患有SDD的儿童在两年时间里社会情感功能的变化进行了探索性评估。根据修订后的情感发展量表（SED-R）的改编版本，每年对25名儿童的一名或多名主要照顾者进行半结构化访谈，并对社会情感功能的13个领域进行分析。这项研究表明，在两年期间，个体和群体的变化模式存在很大差异。描绘这一目标群体的社会情感发展具有挑战性，需要对个体轨迹进行进一步深入分析，以及更细致和长期的数据收集。
