Parental Stress in Cases of Children 'At Risk' for Specific Learning Disorder: A Pilot Study : Table 4

Table 4: Correlations between the scores of parents of children diagnosed ‘at risk’ for SLD, in scales of PSI-SF and characteristics (measured in months) of their children’s developmental history.
Note: DR= Defensive Responding Score; PD= Parental Distress Score; PCDI= Parent-Child Dysfunctional Interaction Score; DC= Difficult Child Score. *p<.05. **p<.01. ***p<.001.
