Outline of Final Research Achievements

We developed developmental disability check sheet, in order to investigate and then support university freshmen. This check sheet can be useful tool for supporting students’ adaptation not for diagnosing. The answer or request for consultation in their parents can be very important. High score of this check sheet has positive effects on the level of stress and irregular lifestyle, but no direct effects on the failure of earning credits or withdraw from university. However there was a limit to find all students who have developmental disability, because the scores of this check sheet can be also related to the level of anxiety.
