title: Correlation of mild pre-school developmental delay and subsequent learning abilities: a health and education perspective.
abstract: This article examines the correlation of milder pre-school neuro-developmental functional delay and school learning abilities from a clinical and educational perspective. A positive high correlation was found. Developmental function was therefore judged to be highly relevant to learning skills. A screening and assessment scheme is suggested.
