Abstract
The Denver Developmental Screening Test was given to 373 disadvantaged black children attending preschool nursery classes in a large urban area. Findings are presented and discussed. Primary emphasis is on the need for early recognition of developmental failures and the establishment of remedial classes within existing preschool programs. Cultural stereotyping is viewed as one obstruction to early identification of learning deficits.Keywords
