The effect of developmental disabilities on mental health.

. J Sch Health, 49 (5): 260--262 (May 1979)

Abstract

Behavioral abnormalities in the developmentally disabled child are usually ascribed to parental mismanagement of a child perceived as abnormal. (Review of the available data points to the existence of primary behavioral abnormalities due directly to the cerebral dysfunction.) This has important implications for parental counseling and management.
