abstract="The academic placement of 87 children 6 years 6 months to 16 years 6 months old who had sustained traumatic brain injuries was determined within 1 year after injury. Forty-five children had returned full-time to regular academic programs, 21 children were receiving special education support for less than 50% of their classes, and 21 children were enrolled in special education classes for more than 50% of their time. The predictive power of various patient history variables with regard to school reentry was evaluated by means of stepwise discriminant analysis. Verbal IQ at initial postinjury assessment appeared to be the most important factor with regard to school placement within the first year after injury. Theoretical and research implications are discussed.<p />",
