This study describes the development status of 127 homeless and 91 low-income housed infants and toddlers.
The Bayley Scales of Infant Development and the Vineland Screener were used to gather data.
There were no differences between homeless and low-income housed children. However, younger children in both groups performed better than the older children on most summary scores.
Homeless and low-income housed children did not differ in their cognitive and motor skills. However, older children scored lower than younger children on most measures of development status, suggesting that the cumulative effects of poverty may increase with time.
本研究描述了127名无家可归以及91名低收入有住所婴幼儿的发育状况。
使用贝利婴儿发展量表和文兰筛查工具收集数据。
无家可归儿童和低收入有住所儿童之间没有差异。然而，两组中的年幼儿童在大多数汇总得分上比年长儿童表现更好。
无家可归儿童和低收入有住所儿童在认知和运动技能方面没有差异。然而，在大多数发育状况测量指标上，年长儿童得分低于年幼儿童，这表明贫困的累积影响可能会随着时间增加。
