Popis: Children evaluated by an interdisciplinary team that provided data on psychiatric disturbance, language handicaps, and psychoeducational assessment were placed in special education classes following the complete evaluation. Discriminant analysis as a special case of multiple regression analysis determined that mean reading achievement score, pre-evaluation classroom placement, and to a lesser degree, Performance IQ predicted classroom placement. Overall, correct classroom predictions approached 90 percent. These findings highlight the value of interdisciplinary evaluation to educators and mental health professionals.
