I'm collecting data on intelligence or other cognitive functions in street children for a review article. There are very journal articles few that can be found with academic databases. But I'm sure there must be others published, perhaps in minor journals or in languages other than English. If you know of any, I'd be glad of any information you could give me.
Hi Graham,
You have probably come across these already, but if not, see:

Best,
Steve
Steven, thanks for the suggestions. My review article isn't published yet but I can send the accepted-for-publication Word document version if you let me know your email.
At least one Nobel Prize winner was a street child. There is some old UK data on canal boat children.
