The parents of 188 children attending schools for those with severe learning difficulties completed the Developmental Behaviour Checklist (DBC), and a questionnaire asking for demographic details and information about present and early correlates. Hierarchical regression analyses were performed to explore whether potential early correlates from infancy could add to the prediction of behaviour problems from established correlates and diagnostic variables. Potential early correlates across all of the DBC domains did not add significantly to the prediction of behaviour problems. However, there were effects of sex, physical ability and diagnostic categories. A number of methodological factors are discussed in terms of how they impact on the results.
