Abstract
To effectively plan for services for young handicapped children, early objective developmental assessments are necessary. Although caution must be exercised in their use, assessment measures for infants can help to prevent, ameliorate, or uncover the difficulties that the handicapped child might face. By using a battery of assessments, a profile of the child's abilities, strengths, weaknesses, and disabilities is yielded.Keywords
