Working Paper: Experimental Evidence on Early
Intervention: The
Impact of Full - day Kindergarten
Early diagnosis and
intervention for children with FASD are thought to be key to preventing behavioural, mental health and learning difficulties.36 — 38 However, Fitzroy Valley community members have reported that a current lack
of diagnostic and
intervention support for children with FASD
impacts their children's ability to reach their
full potential.14 Children with FASD need access to
interventions which support their development
of emotional and behavioural regulation skills.38 It is recognised that educators, alongside the family, play a crucial role in supporting children with FASD to improve life outcomes through contextually appropriate and evidence - based
interventions.36 While there is limited evidence for strategies that can assist children affected by FASD, 2 particularly to improve self - regulation and executive functioning skills, 8 17 32 39 the Alert Program for Self - Regulation has evidence to suggest it is a promising
intervention.17 39
These results are supported by fidelity findings from the structured observations (N = 27) carried out in a sample
of classes over the course
of the study (observations: mean number
of observed activities
full implementation = 90.9 %; partial implementation = 2.3 %; activities not implemented = 6.8 %) Given that there was no significant difference in the level
of programme adherence between the
intervention groups, the
impact results were analysed by comparing the
intervention group's results (i.e.
intervention Type I combined with
intervention Type II) with the control group's results.
An evaluation
of the long - term
impact of the Chicago Child - Parent Centers, for example, showed that children attending the program for a
full day scored better on measures of social - emotional development, math and reading skills, and physical health than similar children attending the program part day.Arthur Reynolds et al. «Association of a Full - Day vs. Part - Day Preschool Intervention with School Readiness, Attendance, and Parent Involvement,» JAMA 312, no. 20 (2014): 2126 — 2
