Abstract

Children with entrenched behavioural and learning disabilities generally have been assessed with instruments such as intelligence tests, case histories, questionnaires and rating scales. These methods rely on others' accurate interpretation of the child's overt behaviour for their validity. However, what others perceive is often erroneous. Mapping the child's inner world gives far more useful and accurate information.
