Llevar a cabo la evaluación y tratamiento de la población infantil de 0 a 6 años, desde la atención infantil temprana es un proceso fundamental para promover la salud y el desarrollo de los niños con algún tipo de trastorno o riesgo de padecerlo y para ayudar a su familia en el quehacer diario con sus hijos e hijas. Para hacerlo de forma eficaz, es necesario tener en cuenta la influencia de los factores biológicos, psicológicos y sociales y que los profesionales que se ocupen de ello formen un equipo interdisciplinar, capaz de integrar y sintetizar la información proporcionada por las distintas disciplinas. En este libro se abordan los fundamentos científicos, el desarrollo infantil, los aspectos conceptuales y organizativos de la Atención Temprana, la prevención, el proceso diagnóstico, las discapacidades y las intervenciones específicas, la intervención familiar y la investigación, dado que se recoge una parte teórica con artículos de revisión de interés y otra parte práctica con estudio de casos. Los colaboradores y coordinadores de esta obra son profesores pertenecientes a distintas especialidades y titulaciones de la Universidad de Jaén (España), dedicados a la docencia, la investigación y la práctica en esta área. Igualmente, han participado otros profesionales, procedentes de asociaciones y del campo de la salud, que aportan una perspectiva aplicada, actualizada e interdisciplinar del trabajo que se realiza en los centros de desarrollo infantil y atención temprana. Los coordinadores esperan que todos y cada uno de los párrafos que componen los capítulos de esta obra, sean de gran interés práctico y que pueda ser aplicado por profesionales, investigadores y estudiosos cuyo leit motiv sea la Atención Infantil Temprana.

There have been huge advances in our ability to diagnose autism and in the development of effective interventions that can change children’s lives. In this extraordinary book, Lynn Kern Koegel, a leading clinician, researcher, and cofounder of the renowned Autism Research Center at the University of California at Santa Barbara, combines her cutting-edge expertise with the everyday perspectives of Claire LaZebnik, a writer whose experience with a son with autism provides a rare window into the disorder. Together, they draw on the highly effective “pivotal response” approach developed at the center to provide concrete ways of improving the symptoms of autism and the emotional struggles that surround it, while reminding readers never to lose sight of the humor that lurks in the disability’s quirkiness or the importance of enjoying your child. From the shock of diagnosis to the step-by-step work with verbal communication, social interaction, self-stimulation, meltdowns, fears, and more, the answers are here-in a book that is as warm and nurturing as it is authoritative.

There is no longer any doubt that the inherited genetic constitution of the individual has a large influence on the entire life cycle, from human fetal development and pre- and postnatal growth to subsequent health status. However, growing evidence suggests that this predisposition is not rigid, but that early genetic imprinting, caused by exposure to a diverse spectrum of nutrients, macromolecules, microbial agents and other cellular or soluble components present in the external environment, is also of importance. According to this concept of the developmental origins of adult diseases, intrauterine and early life events play an important role in the etiology of human diseases: there seems to exist a critical 'window of opportunity' in the human infant before and during pregnancy, and up to 24 months of age. Altered exposure to different environmental agents during this critical period may determine the nature of responses in the perinatal period, and the expression of specific disease states in later life. The papers presented in this publication thus focus on the impact of perinatal growth, nutrition, environmental microflora, and host immune responses on the outcome of health and disease in later life.
