This book focuses on behaviourally disabled children and adults. Part I describes the development of normal children; Part II the deviances of behaviourally 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 tactilekinesthetic 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 organization. The "work at the root" is described in detail in Part III. The book addresses those concerned about the education of normal and behaviourally disordered children, those responsible for detecting and evaluating disordered children and brain-injured adults, and those working with behaviourally abnormal children or brain-injured adults.
