Coping Characteristics of Disabled and Nondisabled Young Children.

Zeitlin, Shirley; Williamson, G. Gordon

American Journal of Orthopsychiatry, v60 n3 p404-11 Jul 1990

The coping characteristics of 1,035 disabled and 405 nondisabled children, aged 4 months to 3 years, are assessed across 3 categories of behavioral patterns (sensorimotor organization, reactive behavior, and self-initiated behavior). The influence of family income, gender, age, and ethnicity is examined and the implications for early intervention are discussed. (Author/JDD)
