The work reported here is part of a wider study initiated to explore through parental interviews the psychosocial and physiological development of children with motor/learning difficulties attending an occupational therapy department at a children's hospital. A basic profile of the children (age, sex, social class, type of dysfunction, IQ, education and marital status of parents and family size) is provided. In addition, the children's developmental histories from birth, including data on milestones, are presented and discussed.
