Follow-up of 95 per cent of the 136 children who had been diagnosed at the Children's Center during their preschool years as having atypical development and who were over nine years old on January 1, 1962, showed that 59 per cent were absorbing enough formal learning to compete in society, 36 per cent were receiving schooling through normal educational channels with the majority of the remainder in schools for the retarded rather than disturbed, and more than half seemed to be making a psychological adjustment that enabled them to function within society. The correlation of factors such as psychiatric treatment, neurological and physical handicaps, and abnormal EEGs with outcome was investigated.
