[The effectiveness of special schools in the comprehensive care of mentally retarded children].

The allocation of children to auxiliary schools causes difficulties. With regard to the degree of mental retardation the children are usually placed in social care institutions. It was found that children attending day classes in social care institutions have more self-handed habits and skills than pupils of auxiliary schools. The author recommends the integration of auxiliary schools and day classes of social care institutions to achieve more expedient training of mentally retarded children, with the possibility of more intensive rehabilitation care.
