Academic achievement of children with emotional disorders treated in a day hospital program: an outcome study.
Reading, spelling, and arithmetic achievement of children treated in a day psychiatric hospital was examined over time. The results indicated that the majority of children fell in the average and above achievement group and progressed evenly over time. Almost none got worse and only a few made large gains. Organic impairment ratings appeared to distinguish the three performance groups within each subject area.
