Abstract
A cross-sectional analytical survey was carried out to determine the extent and associations of compliance with consultants'' recommendations for developmentally handicapped children to parents and front-line community professionals. Non-compliance was a substantial problem. Several significant associations were found between clients'' attitudes and beliefs about the recommendations and their compliance with them. These findings may prove useful in identifying clients at risk for non-compliance, and in developing strategies to enhance compliance among clients of developmental disability consultation services.
