Long Term Survivors

Of 43 long-term survivors with birth weights of 1,250 g or less, 33 were compared with peers and school-aged siblings for educational levels and needs. Of the 33 children in school, three (9.1%) were in classes for children with major handicaps, whereas 30 (90.9%) were found to be comparable to their classmates by teachers and/or test scores, but 14 (47%) were receiving remedial instruction to perform at grade level. Of 13 children with school-aged siblings, three required more hours of assistance by specialized teaching staff than their siblings. The group without the need for specialized teaching staff had older mothers and tended to reside in higher socioeconomic households. Overall, our children with birth weights of 1,250 g or less (51.5%) required more special education efforts than the general school population (24.1%), thereby enabling most to compare favorably with their peers.

Made In

A survey was made in an administrative school area, composed of rural and urban zones, giving initially the best probabilities to get the full morphological variability representative of the national general school population. A total number of 532 boys and 524 girls aged from 4 to 18 were measured with 18 anthropometric dimensions. The survey was conducted in nursery, primary and secondary schools. The whole statistic results on anthropometric data were analysed according to sex, age and school level. This survey confirms the great variability between boys and girls of a same age group, particularly in pre-puberty and puberty growth periods. With these updated anthropometric data it is possible to provide databases for ergonomic conception and reference for medical health.

Age Range

Mutualistic theories suggest that the mastering of a skill, either cognitive or academic, supports and amplifies the development of other such abilities. A mutualistic network framework was applied to map the interrelations between identical cognitive and academic tasks in two age-matched developmental cohorts (age range 8 to 18). One cohort was drawn from the general school population and the other included struggling learners (N= 350 per cohort). The community sample outperformed the struggling learners across all cognitive and academic tests, yet tasks were similarly interrelated across groups. Some differences in association strength were also observed: academic skills were more closely coupled in typical relative to struggling learners, while maths was more strongly related to cognitive skills in the struggling learners.

Selection Factors

A statistical review provides analysis of four years of speech therapy services of a suburban school system which can be used for comparison with other school system programs. Included are data on the percentages of the school population enrolled in therapy, the categories of disabilities and the number of children in each category, the sex and grade-level distribution of those in therapy, and shifts in case-load selection. Factors affecting changes in case-load profiles are identified and discussed.
