Joy Ufema, R.N. cuts the bureaucratic and emotional barriers to help patients prepare for death. In this film from "60 Minutes" she is shown helping a woman with leukemia plan her own funeral, meet with her family and discuss openly how much better it is for everyone "to know." One of the most compelling sequences deals with her work with children. A terminally ill child is helped to feel she can control some aspect of her existence by being given kittens to care for. A young father she worked with at the time of his wife's death reports with gratitude that their five year old son was able to hear the truth and to ask the questions that were on his mind. The legitimacy of each concern of child, relative, and patient is what guides Ms. Ufema in her understanding approach. She provides these persons a dignity and autonomy which is often lost in terminal care. Her "dose of reality" is administered with much warmth and compassion. As the Hospital Medical Director says, not all physicians favor this approach but gradually many are won over when they see the beneficial results on patients and relatives. Here is a moving documentary which will be valuable in professional training and in seminars on Death & Dying. It should inspire other institutions to move closer instead of becoming more remote when families are facing a death.

We discuss three dimensions of input quality: interactive, linguistic, and conceptual. All three types of input features have been shown to predict children's language learning, though perhaps through somewhat different mechanisms. We argue that input best designed to promote language learning is interactionally supportive, linguistically adapted, and conceptually challenging for the child's age/level. Furthermore, input features interact across dimensions to promote learning. Some but not all qualities of input vary based on parent socioeconomic status, language, or culture, and contexts such as book-reading or pretend play generate uniquely facilitative input features. The review confirms that we know a great deal about the role of input quality in promoting children's development, but that there is much more to learn. Future research should examine input features across the boundaries of the dimensions distinguished here.
