[Discriminant analytic determination of prognostic variables from child psychiatric examination for school achievement in special education studies]. / Diskriminanzanalytische Bestimmung prognostischer Variablen aus der kinderpsychiatrischen Untersuchung für den Schulerfolg von Sonderschülern.

ABSTRACT

Scores on tests administered to learning disabled children in grade one during their examination by a child psychiatrist were analyzed for their predictive value with regard to the children's subsequent academic careers and type of school later attended. Upon starting school the learning disabled children exhibited marked deficits in intelligence and language and motor development. Variables predictive of the type of school to be attended later were intelligence scores and motor performance.
