Evaluation: Program for Pupil Adjustment.
Wignall, Clifton M.
Three interdisciplinary centers administered an adjustment program for students with learning and behavior problems. Children referred were given development, visual perceptual, and diagnostic reading tests; were evaluated by medical and other specialists; and were placed in a diagnostic classroom for 2 weeks. Those judged to have gross educational deficits were placed in a 9-week program for general remediation or in 4 weekly class periods for reading. Other methods of intervention were also utilized. Over a 12-month period, 318 students received service from referral to treatment and evaluation; a success rate of 83% for treatable pupils resulted, with the greatest success where the means of intervention offered greatest control. Principals indicated favorable opinions. (JD)
