The specific learning disorders are stable. Regress of symptoms up to the 5th form took place only in 4 children. 50% of schoolchildren got secondary neurotic complaints. The prognostically unfavourable learning disorders are the following symptoms: phenomen of reflecting writing (observed in 1-2 forms of school), disorders of space impression, of aural perception (including phonematic hearing).
