The author presents a follow-up study of 34 children with cerebral palsy. Eight years previously 23 of these children were attending a special school for handicapped children, and 11 were attending regular schools. The author evaluated the children and their families through formal and informal interviews and by administering parent and teacher rating scales of the children's behavior. He found that the development of these children between the ages of 10 and 14 was highlighted by their increased awareness and their parents' awareness of the permanence of their handicap and their consequent search for personal and, ultimately, occupational identity and their parents' emotional withdrawal.
作者对34名脑瘫儿童进行了一项随访研究。八年前，其中23名儿童就读于一所残疾儿童特殊学校，11名儿童就读于普通学校。作者通过正式和非正式访谈以及使用家长和教师对儿童行为的评定量表，对这些儿童及其家庭进行了评估。他发现，这些儿童在10岁至14岁之间的发展特点是，他们自身以及其父母越来越意识到残疾的永久性，进而寻求个人身份认同，并最终寻求职业身份认同，同时他们的父母在情感上逐渐疏离。
