title: Parental perceptions of behaviors in preschool children.
abstract: A comparison of parental descriptions revealed that mothers of developmentally delayed children listed fewer deviant behaviors than did mothers of behaviorally disturbed children, but significantly more than mothers of non-clinic children. The Washington Symptom Checklist, used in this research, proved a useful clinical tool.
