We also investigated within-…

The rate of divorce remained high throughout the son's or daughter's childhood, adolescence, and early adulthood for paren…

There is little evidence regarding the distinction between sensory over‐responsivity and anxiety disorders in toddlers. This construct validity study examined differences between occupational therapists' and psychologists' judgments of behaviors as representing sensory processing diso…
