    Area of Science:

    • Developmental Psychology
    • Special Education

    Background:

    • Severely educationally handicapped children require targeted developmental assessments.
    • Understanding developmental trajectories in this population is crucial for intervention.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess psychological development in severely educationally handicapped children.
    • To identify specific subgroups exhibiting developmental improvements.

    Main Methods:

    • Assessment of children aged 7-13 years using psychological development scales.
    • Analysis of developmental changes in cognition, social skills, and language.

    Main Results:

    • Observed improvements in cognition, social skills, and language around ages 11-12.
    • Developmental gains were most pronounced in children with Down's syndrome and those with non-pathological intellectual disability.
    • Improvements were not attributed to sample selection biases.

    Conclusions:

    • Developmental progress is possible in severely educationally handicapped children.
    • Children with Down's syndrome and non-pathological intellectual disability show specific developmental potential.
    • Longitudinal studies are recommended to further investigate these developmental patterns.
