It serves a population of 16 to 18 elementary-school-age children whose social and academic problems are particularly manifest in the school setting. These children attend the Center from 9:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M. daily for a period of 1 to 2 years with the goal of their returning to public school programs. The staff consists of teachers, psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, pediatricians, and auxiliary personnel, and trainees in the indicated professional disciplines. A special education program is provided together with psychoanalytically oriented therapy for the children and their parents. In addition to this intramural activity, the Center conducts consultation and inservice training programs in a number of public elementary schools.
