The Gesell's Drawmg Test of Intelligence is a useful screening tool for research and clinical practice. This cross-sectional exploratory research seeks to compare performance of a purposive sample of 59 children in age range of S- 12 years on the test drawing activity by using computer based Paint Brush Program along with concurrent use of its traditional paper-pencil mode of test administration. Independent scoring by three mutually blinded examiners show no significant difference in scores of subjects between the two modes of administration (p >0.05). However, a consistent pattern of within group differences seen with higher scores for paper-pencil mode of administration on variables like gender, age, residence, type of syllabus, and family background (p 0.05). The findings are discussed with merits and demerits in the ongoing efforts to develop computer-enabled testing devices for children.Keywords

Research on home based problem behavior interventions is scarce in Indian settings. This cross sectional random survey aims to identity barriers or facilitators in parent mediated problem behavior interventions for their children. Targeting 78 children between 3-12 years, data was collected as frequency counts of felt, expressed or reported nature, type and extent of challenges, difficutties and issues by respective parents as therapeutic agents. Among their listed 36 types of 918 difficulties, 21 types of 507 issues are linked to service recipients themselves, followed by those viewed as due to the intervention process (Types, 10; N, 293) and few attributed to problems in service providers (Types, 5; N, 118). Disagreements between parents in prioritizing problem behaviors, perception that behavior intervention programs are time consuming, that there is minimal support from spouse and family, or that they expect instantaneous solutions are the most serious barriers. Some parents express hardships in record keeping, admit to pressure of daily routine in caring their unaffected children, the long wait involved in securing appointment from service providers, and the burden of travelling to avail professional help. Follow up and maintenance efforts during planning behavior interventions must necessarily take note of these findings to optimize positive developments in children.Keywords
