The final sample consisted of 12 mothers, ranging in age
from 25 to 49 years, of neurologically challenged children,
who ranged in age from 11 months to 16 years The limitation
with this non-probabilify or judgement sampling is
that It allows no way of knowing precisely the degree to
which the sample corresponded to the universe it represents
However, the focus of the study was to look at
response pattems rather than the way behavioural traits
or special mdividual charactenstics are distnbuted m a
known universe whose systematic nature is either taken
for granted or ignored
