Families of preschoolers with mild handicaps (n=65) were compared with families of nonhandicapped children (n=60) by means of the Parent Behavior Checklist and Child Behavior Checklist. Mothers of the mildly handicapped sample had lower developmental expectations than did mothers of the nonhandicapped sample. Parents also rated their mildly-handicapped preschoolers as displaying higher levels of internalizing and total behavior problems. (JPS)
