✦ Synopsis

The authors contend that there is too much at stake for society t o assume that parents have the interest, resources, and the sense of responsibility to assess competently and adequately the development of their preschool children. Even though some risk is involved, such screening projects are needed badly to prevent more serious developmental and psychological difficulties in later life. Within the limitations of this study, however, the authors feel that the challenges posed by new state laws are in the best interests of handicapped children and that they can be met. The screening procedures described above peed follow-up evaluation and further refinement. Such studies presently are being conducted.
