Neuropsychological study of backward schoolchildren with normal intellect revealed the cause of their school disadaptation, namely, a combined cortical disorder expressed in the form of discalculia and disgraphy (Gerstmann's syndrome). Histories of 3 children with this abnormality are described. The authors consider the clinical heterogeneity of the syndrome, its origin, and the use of intact intellectual abilities for adequate medico-pedagogical correction.
