Variables discriminating residential placement of severely handicapped children. 1985

M E Wynne, and J J Rogers

The relationship of 11 social and status variables to two placement groups of severely handicapped children (home and community-based residential facility). Using a multiple discriminant analysis, we found that 6 of these variables (child's age, parental feelings about the suggestion to institutionalize, religiosity, mother's age, child's age at first words, and child's age at school entry) contributed significantly to the discrimination between the two groups. When the resulting coefficient of discrimination was applied to a subsample, statistical classification agreed with known placement in 75.68% of the cases, indicating a high degree of discrimination between children residing at home and in residential settings on the variables studied.

D002547 Cerebral Palsy A heterogeneous group of nonprogressive motor disorders caused by chronic brain injuries that originate in the prenatal period, perinatal period, or first few years of life. The four major subtypes are spastic, athetoid, ataxic, and mixed cerebral palsy, with spastic forms being the most common. The motor disorder may range from difficulties with fine motor control to severe spasticity (see MUSCLE SPASTICITY) in all limbs. Spastic diplegia (Little disease) is the most common subtype, and is characterized by spasticity that is more prominent in the legs than in the arms. Pathologically, this condition may be associated with LEUKOMALACIA, PERIVENTRICULAR.
