Fourteen profiles of students in kindergarten through grade 8 provide information on characteristic behavior of learning disabled or behavior disordered students. Characteristics are matched up with appropriate strategies from a list of 188 in the back of the book. Profiles include hyperactive, withdrawn, clumsy, friendless, bewildered, and…

The Individually Prescribed Instruction (IPI) Model developed by Bolvin and Glaser (1968) is applied to a perceptual development curriculum for children manifesting learning disabilities. The Model utilizes criterion referenced tests for behavioral objectives in four areas: general motor, visual motor, auditory motor, and integrative. Eight units…

The author discusses the role of educational "crutches" that help elementary learning disabled children in tasks involving spatial orientation, visual perception, and auditory short-term memory. Teachers are cautioned to observe how children act in different situations and to allow them whatever "crutches" are effective. (CL)

Sixty-two first graders were identified as high-risk learners and randomly assigned to one of three remediation techniques or a control treatment. (Author/DB)

The effectiveness of a compensatory education program is dependent upon the recognition and treatment of students' basic visual, auditory, or neurological development problems. (MN)

The Developmental Test of Visual-Motor Integration, the Wide Range Achievement Test, and the Student's Perception of Ability Scale were administreed to 70 learning disabled and 73 normally achieving third-grade children who had been stratified on full scale Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R) IQ scores. (Author)

Evaluated was the effectiveness of a perceptual motor training program with 295 5- and 6-year-old children who were either in the experimental remedial program or a contrast group. (DB)

The practicum designed a perceptual activities program for learning disabled second graders using computer-assisted instruction. The program develops skills involving visual motor coordination, figure-ground differentiation, form constancy, position in space, and spatial relationships. Five behavioral objectives for each developmental area were…

The article gives a checklist of questions for teachers to ask in the functional assessment of learning disabled children, and gives guides in decisions on instructional prescriptions. (PHR)

The article reviews techniques which incorporate visual, auditory, and kinesthetic modalities in developing reading skills of perceptually handicapped students. (CL)

Evaluated with two groups of 35 children (median age 12 years) either having or not having school learning and visual perception problems was the sensitivity of human figure drawings in measuring the emotional effects of visual perceptual training of children with visual perceptual problems. (DB)

Paper has attempted to display two sets of perceptual disorganizations, both parents' and children's. As well, suggestions for action are given. (Author/RK)
