  • Title: School problems and the family physician.
    Author: Phillips DM, Longlett SK, Mulrine C, Kruse J, Kewney R.
    Journal: Am Fam Physician; 1999 May 15; 59(10):2816-24. PubMed ID: 10348074.
    Abstract:
    Children with school problems pose a challenge for the family physician. A multidisciplinary team of professionals can most appropriately assess and manage complex learning problems, which are often the cause of poor school performance. The family physician's primary role in this process is to identify or exclude medical causes of learning difficulties. An understanding of the complicated nature of school problems, the methods used to assess, diagnose and treat them, and the resources available to support the child and family are essential to successful management. Various references and resources are helpful for a more in-depth study of specific school problems.
