Multidisciplinary team evaluation of school dysfunction. An analysis of utilization.

Abstract:

:Little is known of the characteristics of children experiencing school dysfunction who are evaluated by multidisciplinary teams. The records of 87 children seen during a calendar year were reviewed and information was gathered regarding their age, sex, and referral source. In addition, the chief concerns of the child's parents and educators, and the diagnostic outcome, were considered. Boys were more likely to have been referred for behavioral problems than for academic issues. Girls were seen at an earlier age. Younger children were more likely to have been referred by physicians. While there was a significant association between gender and reason for referral, we found no such relationship between gender and final diagnostic classification. Variables in the utilization of evaluation services are described. Cognizance of these issues should lead to improved provision of care to all children experiencing school dysfunction.
