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

This study describes and compares visual encoding processes and copying performance of normal children and children with perceptual and neurological disabilities viewing the Bender-Gestalt designs. Designs of the neurologically impaired children were significantly different from those of either of the other two diagnostic groups. (Author)

The purpose of the project was to determine to what extent visual, motor, and perceptual training would improve the reading and general achievement of children with visual, motor, and perceptual deficiencies. Eighty first, second, and third graders, identified as having such handicaps by gross and fine screening instruments, were randomly divided…

Shows that a perceptual-motor curriculum in body image and in space and directionality produces significant effects for kindergarteners identified as potentially perceptual-motor disabled. (RL)

This report is an evaluation of a New York City school district educational project funded under Title VIB Education of the Handicapped Act. Under the direction of a project coordinator and a music therapist, 365 emotionally disturbed, hyperactive, and mentally retarded youngsters, ranging in age from 6 to 15, participated in the program.

Perceptual deficits in child development have been found to be very common in the underachiever. Such deficits can be identified and treated with training in coordination skills such as large motor, hand-eye, and auditory-speech. This paper reports an innovative training project in three New York state elementary schools. Subjects were selected…

The main service of this project involves early identification of underdeveloped or abnormal behavior characteristics in the preschool-age child and the initiation of an educational treatment plan which ameliorate the developmental problem. Identification of disabled children is made by the two project diagnosticians in nursery schools and Head…

The manual for the remediation of perceptual handicaps at the early childhood level provides information on child development, identification and testing procedures, training procedures, 20 lesson plans, and a listing of instructional materials. It is explained that the instructional program can be used in individual tutoring or small group…

Designed as a perceptual enrichment program for all kindergarten children, the project also emphasizes intensive perceptual training for children manifesting dificiency in this area of development. Screening was done of 869 pre-kindergarten children; those scoring in the lowest 5% on any one or more of the subtests or falling in the lowest 10% of…
