A truly global perspective on home education, this handbook includes the disparate work of scholars outside of the U.S. Typically understudied topics are addressed, such as the emotional lives of home educating mothers and the impact of home education on young adults.

2. REhabilitation Approaches in CHildren with cerebellar mutism syndrome (REACH): An international cross-disciplinary survey study.

Author

Samargia-Grivette, Sharyl, Hartley, Helen, Walsh, Karin, Lemiere, Jurgen, Payne, Allison D., Litke, Emma, and Knight, Ashley

Subjects
*POSTERIOR fossa syndrome, *QUESTIONNAIRES, *POPULATION geography, *TREATMENT effectiveness, *OCCUPATIONAL therapy, *SURVEYS, *NEUROPSYCHOLOGY, *SPEECH therapy, *CHILDREN
Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Pediatric cerebellar mutism syndrome (pCMS) can occur following resection of a posterior fossa tumor and, although some symptoms are transient, many result in long-lasting neurological deficits. A multi-disciplinary rehabilitation approach is often used in cases of pCMS; however, there have been no clinical trials to determine gold standards in rehabilitation practice in this population, which remains a research priority. The purpose of this study was to identify and compare intervention practices used in pCMS throughout the disciplines of occupational and physical therapy, speech-language pathology, and neuropsychology across geographic regions. METHODS: A 55-question e-survey was created by an international multidisciplinary research group made up of members of the Posterior Fossa Society and sent to rehabilitation professionals in pediatric neuro-oncology centers in the US, Canada, and Europe. RESULTS: Although some differences in the type of intervention used in pCMS were identified within each discipline, many of the targeted interventions including dose, frequency, and intensity were similar within disciplines across geographic regions. In addition, there were common themes identified across disciplines regarding challenges in the rehabilitation of this population. CONCLUSION: These results provide a foundation of current practices on which to build future intervention-based clinical trials. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

4. Reports of the Demise of Quality are Exaggerated.

Subjects
*SURVEYS, *QUALITY control, *QUALITY assurance
Abstract

Preliminary results of a study conducted by the U.S.-based Price Waterhouse & Co. show that quality initiatives are not failing but succeeding. The study finds that more than 70 per cent of organizations believe that their quality initiatives are successful. The study--"A Program to Understand Leading Practices in Business Survival and Excellence,"--shows that those organizations that have been actively implementing quality initiatives for more than two years are more likely to have "very successful" initiatives than those that have had programmes for less than two years. The international study generated responses from more than 1700 organizations in the United States, Great Britain, Canada, Europe, and China in all major industries.
