McNiff, Shaun A. – Academic Therapy, 1974
Perceptually handicapped children can be helped through guided discussions of their art work. (DB)
Descriptors: Art, Exceptional Child Education, Group Discussion, Learning Disabilities
Pollack, Cecelia; And Others – Academic Therapy, 1978
The study involving 200 kindergarteners was conducted to determine whether children taught specific auditory perception skills with the Phonic Readiness Set by teachers and sixth grade tutors would develop significantly better perception and reading skills than children taught with the usual curriculum, both with and without tutors. (SBH)

Hardman, Patricia K.; Smith, Devon D. – Academic Therapy, 1984
Sixteen students (6-26 years old) with developmental dyslexia or hyperactivity and 16 controls were administered the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT) and the Revised test (PPVT-R). Increased numbers of perceptually loaded plates accounted for a decrease in IQ scores for dyslexic hyperactive Ss on the revised test. (CL)

Elwinger, Elyda S. – Academic Therapy, 1983
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)

Swanson, H. Lee – Academic Therapy, 1978
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)
Descriptors: Attention Span, Cognitive Development, Individualized Instruction, Informal Assessment
Shore, Bernard; Riegel, Paula – Academic Therapy, 1978
The article reviews techniques which incorporate visual, auditory, and kinesthetic modalities in developing reading skills of perceptually handicapped students. (CL)
Descriptors: Learning Activities, Learning Disabilities, Learning Modalities, Perceptual Development
Bachara, Gary H.; Zaba, Joel N. – Academic Therapy, 1976
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)
Descriptors: Elementary Education, Emotional Problems, Learning Disabilities, Perceptual Development
Och, Mary F. – Academic Therapy, 1973
Discussed is use of the trampoline to remediate perceptual handicaps in learning disabled children. (DB)
Descriptors: Exceptional Child Education, Learning Disabilities, Perceptual Development, Perceptual Handicaps
Herman, P.J. – Academic Therapy, 1983
The article reviews the role of the vestibular system, tactile system, kinesthetic system, visual system, balance, locomotion, body awareness, spatial system, mildline crossing, bilateral integration, form perception, and eye-food coordination in promoting an integrated motor base on which later learning is built. (CL)
Descriptors: Disabilities, Early Childhood Education, Kinesthetic Perception, Motor Development
Pitcher-Baker, Georgia – Academic Therapy, 1976
Critiqued are five reviews of research puporting to examine the effectiveness of perceptual training in the improvement of reading. (DB)
Descriptors: Auditory Perception, Learning Disabilities, Perceptual Development, Reading Difficulty
Ames, Kay N. – Academic Therapy, 1979
A reading program for second- and third-grade nonreaders based on neurological development rather than reading or perceptual skills is described. Results of a study of 24 children in the program showed average gains of eight months in reading ability in four months of instruction. (PHR)
Descriptors: Developmental Stages, Elementary Education, Learning Processes, Neurological Organization
Wooden, Howard E.; And Others – Academic Therapy, 1976
Investigated with 12 preschool children were whether IQ scores are a predictive indicator of potential learning disability and whether nonprofessional volunteers can remediate possible motor, perceptual, or verbal deficiencies with a concomitant increase in IQ score. (DB)
Descriptors: Exceptional Child Research, Intelligence Quotient, Language Acquisition, Learning Disabilities
Wood, Nancy E. – Academic Therapy, 1977
A study involving 8 children (mean age 9.3 years; seven Ss with possible visual-perceptual disability) was conducted to determine if directed art activities could increase visual perception as measured by the Frostig Developmental Test of Visual Perception. (SBH)
