The Educational Implications of Five Behavioral Clusters

A behavior checklist, useful for identifying children who require medical or psychiatric evaluation, is presented. The checklist provides a "behavioral cluster" system, as opposed to single-behavior rating methods. The clusters can identify children with the hyperkinetic syndrome, learning disabilities, depression, psychosis, brain disorders, and unsocialized aggressive personality disorders. For each child fitting a cluster profile, the most beneficial teaching approach is described, and in certain clusters, specific medical and psychiatric intervention strategies are discussed. Parent and teacher cooperation is emphasized in assessing the severity and frequency of the listed behaviors.
