[Thoughts on the problem of expert assessment of severe disability in very young children].
Opinions on the necessity of nursing severely disabled infants (section 53 SGB V) are very often difficult for experts of sickness insurances, because even healthy infants in their first years require a much assistance and must be permanently looked after. By evaluating 17 such cases an attempt is made to find aspects of retardation of development and possibly simultaneously existing mental handicaps and moreover factors to substantiate a considerably greater need for help compared to normal infants of the same age.
