Three groups of children aged 4–16: (1) 81 referred for neuropsychological testing who had known neurological dysfunction (ND); (2) 167 also referred for neuropsychological testing who had no hard evidence of neurological dysfunction but who did have a specific developmental disability (SDD); and (3) 856 children from the psychiatric clinic population (PC) used to norm the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL; Achenbach, 1978; Achenbach & Edelbrock, 1979) were compared using the CBCL as to their pattern and prevalence of behavioral disturbance. Both the ND and SDD groups had approximately 55% of their number classified as behaviorally disturbed using the CBCL criteria, which is higher than usually reported for similar groups. When compared to the PC group, both the ND and SDD groups evidenced less externally directed symptomatology.

Key words: Child Behavior Checklist; neurological dysfunction; developmental disabilities.
