Developmental checklist parent and teacher ratings were obtained on children at a developmental clinic and in remedial programs in public schools. Ratings were also obtained on children falling into an auditoryvisual learning disability subtype. Parent and teacher ratings were obtained on hyperactive and emotionally disturbed children evaluated at the developmental clinic. Significant differences were found between the control groups and each of the four clinical groups. The ratings also separated these clinical groups. The findings are discussed in terms of incidence, learning disability definition, variation between parent and teacher ratings, and learning disability subgroups.
