Abstract

The Shield of David is a psychiatric clinic and day school essentially geared and devoted to the problems of the severely retarded child who is not acceptable in the Public School system because of low I.Q. Children, ages 4-12, are admitted to the day school upon the completion of a diagnostic-team study and the recommendation of a staff treatment conference. The diagnostic study consists of intake interviews by social service, medical, psychological and speech examinations, observation of the child in group activities and a psychiatric consultation when deemed necessary. All medical, psychological and psychiatric data available from past studies are obtained. A staff conference is then held and the treatment plan for the child and for the parents is proposed.
