Peer problems of children with hemiplegia in mainstream primary schools
Article Abstract:
A study was undertaken to determine the social consequences of hemiplegia in children. The participants include 29 children with mild hemiplegia, 22 with moderate and four with severe hemiplegia. It was found that children with hemiplegia were less popular, often rejected, had fewer friends and often bullied. Group difference in teacher-estimated IQ and teacher ratings of behavior accounted for only one variable which is victimization. Peer problems were also attributed to neurological deficits in social skills of hemiplegic children.

The longitudinal stability of psychiatric problems in children with hemiplegia
Article Abstract:
A longitudinal study of a representative sample of 328 children with hemiplegia was conducted to examine the likelihood that these children will develop or outgrow psychiatric problems. The study also investigated the early symptoms that can best predict later symptoms, the non-psychiatric factors that may determine the persistence of the psychiatric problems, and the possibility of accurately predicting future psychiatric problems to identify at-risk patients who might benefit from early intervention. The results are discussed.
