The aim of this study was to determine if the neurological exam at 8 and 20 months predicts cognitive, behavioral, and motor outcomes in early elementary school. A cohort of 124 infants, admitted in 2001-2003, were examined in early childhood and then yearly between kindergarten and 2nd grade. Analysis with cross-sectional study methods and mixed modeling, demonstrated an increased risk of cognitive problems, academic problems, and motor problems in children with TNA and persistent neurological abnormalities (AB) compared to those in the neurologically normal (NN) group. There is not an accelerated rate of skill acquisition in the TNA group or AB group to allow for catch-up growth compared to the NN group. Children with TNA represent a commonly unrecognized group with high risk of difficulties at school entry. 2014-06-12 English text Case Western Reserve University School of Graduate Studies / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=case1396475321 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=case1396475321 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
