SCHOOL FAILURE

Kurt Glaser M.D.1 and Raymond L. Clemmens M.D.1

1 Department of Pediatrics, University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland

Modern preventive pediatrics recognizes that the school life of the child is one of the important environmental forces affecting his total well-being. Learning difficulties, or any problems interfering with adequate functioning in school, thus enter within the province of pediatric care.

While the cause of a learning difficulty may be purely educational, to be handled adequately by the school authorities, the problem is frequently more complex and involves a variety of physical, emotional, or social factors. The pediatrician, through his close acquaintance with the child, his family, and their environment, is in the strategic position to seek and co-ordinate the services needed for the correction of these multi-faceted problems. In order to do so he must be thoroughly acquainted with the many factors which may interfere with a child's school performance so that he can correctly evaluate the problem and find the appropriate avenue for help in the individual child.
