title: Checklist of perceptual-motor and language skills for developmentally handicapped preschoolers.
abstract: This report describes the development of a checklist of perceptual-motor and language skills which has been designed to identify specific skills and to estimate acquisition of skill in 21 developmentally delayed preschoolers. The preschoolers were administered the checklist at the beginning and end of the school year. Significant mean differences between early and late total checklist scores were obtained. The correlation between early and late total checklist scores was .97. The chief advantages of this checklist are the specificity of assessment and the ease with which it may be used by professionals and paraprofessionals.
