From the Field: Cognitive Profiles of First Nations and Caucasian Children Referred for Psychoeducational Assessment

School District#72, Campbell River, B.C

The WISC-III results of 45 Caucasian and 45 First Nations children who had been referred for a psychoeducational assessment were examined. The sample was matched for both gender and school of origin in an attempt to detect possible discrepancies based on race or gender of the students or the attitudes of those making the referral. Noticeable differences were found in the results between Caucasian males and females and between Caucasians and First Nation pupils. Explanations for the findings are discussed along with suggestions for further research.
