Abstract
Data are presented that provide an initial demonstration of the impact of two situational factors, setting (classroom or small testing room) and familiarity of the examiner (mother or unknown female), on the assessment performance of developmentally disabled preschool age children. A discussion is offered of the possible practical implications of these environmental variations in evaluation outcomes.Keywords
