Purpose: In our country, the diagnosis indicated in the health council reports of children with special needs and the educational assessment and diagnosis conducted by the special educational assessment council are seen in clinical practices where differences may occur from time to time. This study aims to evaluate the facts directed by a preliminary report indicating the suspected psychiatric diagnosis after being evaluated by the guidance research centers (RAM). Tools and Methods: The study data was obtained by a preliminary report indicating the suspected psychiatric diagnosis after being evaluated by RAM between October 2019 and February 2021 and by a backward scan of the files of the facts addressed to the child psychiatrist for the medical evaluation and, if necessary, the report of the health council. In total, 113 data were received. Results: 44 of the cases consisted of girls (38.9 percent) and 69 (61.1 percent) men. The average age was 9,0±2,22 years. 11.5% of cases directed by RAM (n=13) were diagnosed differently from the diagnosis of RAM suspected after the psychiatric evaluation of children. This difference was found statistically meaningful in our study (p<0,05). However, there was no statistical significance in the comparison of gender differential diagnosis after the child's psychiatric assessment and the comparison of age average (p>0,05). In addition, the comprehensive and long-lasting Wechsler intelligence scale test for children was found to be significantly more preferred in children's psychiatric reviews (p<0,05). Result: Our findings show that there are significant differences in child psychiatrics and RAM assessments. This situation may cause delays in some incidents in enjoying the rights of private education. Our work indicates the need for cooperation and planning between the institutions in preventing possible delays.
