First published in 1981. Teaching handicapped children confronts us with the challenge of having to plan, deliberately and systematically, how to teach a child to look, listen, move, explore, play, relate to others and to understand and speak their own language – all skills which do not normally have to be taught at all. This book, based on a lifetime’s experience of working with handicapped people of all ages, provides a basic understanding of the effects of a handicap on a child’s development.
