This information
collection is approved through 6/95. While OMB respects the
recommendations of the Internal Review Board, and the desire not to
alienate the parent(s) by a request that only the child assess
his/her development, OMB recommends that answers provided by
parents be heavily scrutinized and adjusted, if necessary.
