Third-grade school performance in children with special healthcare needs: a prospective cohort study
This study demonstrates the negative effect of current, emerging and persistent SHCN on academic performance in primary school children. Consequently, students should be regularly assessed for SHCN during school age. Timely interventions may help reduce the adverse effects of chronic health conditions on academic achievements in childhood.
