Childhood impairments and subsequent social adjustment

E W Butler et al. Am J Ment Defic. 1978 Nov.

Abstract

The relationship of a variety of childhood impairments to subsequent social adjustment measures of occupations, agency utilization, social participation, and arrest records was examined. Generally, results indicated that impaired persons adjust quite well in some respects but not so well in others. There were differential social adjustments by type of impairment and by age, sex, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status. The data analysis suggests complex relationships between impairment and social adjustment.
