Abstract
Forty-four 10-year-old spina bifida children and 52 non-disabled controls completed the Rogers Personal Adjustment Inventory and their teachers assessed their school behaviour on the Bristol Social Adjustment Guide. Spinal bifida children and the controls had similar school adjustment scores but the former appeared to have significantly more emotional problems on the Rogers Inventory suggesting that they have private worries not revealed by characteristic behaviour in school. Factors associated with apparent emotional upset are considered and implications for support discussed.
