Children with Learning Disabilities Referred to Psychiatrists: A Follow-up Study

Data are presented on 232 children under 18 years of age in the metropolitan area of Vancouver referred in 1960 to psychiatric facilities for evaluation because of academic difficulties. This material formed the basis for a 5-year follow-up study on the utility of the psychiatric consultation to the children's teachers and the children's subsequent progress in school. In only 40% of cases were the findings of psychiatric evaluation available to the school personnel; in less than half of these instances were the findings deemed by the teachers to be of any assistance to them in their work with the children.
