Abstract

The effects of special residential and day schooling experience on 573 emotionally disturbed children from Massachusetts were evaluated with particular attention to such variables as successful and unsuccessful clinical and educational outcome, age, sex, and intellectual differences, residential versus day school placement, differences in diagnosis, degree of emotional disturbance at time of placement, and change in behavior or educational performance while at the special school. Most children derived benefit from the experience; a substantial minority did not.
