A subsample of the original entrants was followed up in 1977 to obtain some idea of how long their difficulties persisted. Difficulties were assessed by a 13 item rating scale covering all aspects of the child's behaviour. This scale was completed for each child individually by the child's teacher. Main Topics: Variables Data was collected on settling, cooperation, relation with teacher, concentration, use of play materials, self-reliance, verbalisation, ability to follow instructions, ability to cope with personal needs, sociability, physical coordination, fine motor control, and general difficulty.
