PESTANA KNIGHT, Elia Margarita et al. Evaluación psicopedagógica de un grupo de niños epilépticos que asisten a escuelas primarias. Rev Cubana Pediatr [online]. 1996, vol.68, n.1, pp.32-36. ISSN 0034-7531.

Thirty children with partial epileptic crisis that go to normal primary schools were studied, with the objective of knowing if they have learning difficulties, and in which subjects; with this purpose, a psychopedagogical assessment was carried out. Results were compared with a 30 children control group, and this was made through the mean comparison test. It was found that 18 children from the study group (60 %), and 9 from the control group (30 %) presented some difficulties in achieving the goals of the school grade with a significant difference between groups of p < 0,001. It is concluded that the highest learning difficulties are in the areas of Reading and Spanish.
