[Catamnestic studies of the value of vocational prognoses for persons with infantile brain-damage (author's transl)].
The basis of this study is the examination of 100 people who suffered from severe neurological and psychic defect syndromes. Of this group 49 were re-examined eight years later- age-range then 20 to 34. The vocational prognoses which were given at the first examination were determined according to the degree of severity of the disability and proved to be correct in 39 cases. In five cases each, the level of productivity was assessed either too high or too low. Only eleven of the sample group had an income exceeding DM 500,-45 were living either with their families or in institutions, and of the remaining four, who rented rooms, two were married. The course of life of this category of people, who suffers from such a wide range of disabilities, can be facilitated if attention is paid to the vocational prognosis before the individual starts vocational training.
