Product Description
This book focuses on behaviorally disabled children and adults. Part I describes the development of normal children, Part II the deviances of behaviorally impaired children and adults, and Part III discusses learning processes characteristic of both normal and perceptually disordered people. The references to research include both cross-sectional studies and longitudinal studies. Numerous photographs and examples illustrate several steps of normal and abnormal perceptual development and stimulate readers to add their own observations. Research findings support a model of development where developmental levels are related to a general source, a root. This model gives hope for therapy, for if the therapy can provide better tactile- kinesthetic information to children and adults when solving problems of daily living, we can expect that the root is strengthened and, consequently, the child will progress in development and the adult will become able to perform on higher levels of organisation. The "work at the root" is described in detail in Part III. The book addresses those concerned about the education of normal and behaviorally disordered children, those responsible for detecting and evaluating disordered children and brain injured adults, and those working with behaviorally abnormal children or brain injured adults.
