You and Your Retarded Child. A Manual for Parents of Retarded Children.
Kirk, Samuel A.; And Others
The book offers advice to parents of retarded children in recognizing and facing inherent problems and provides insight into their own emotional needs and those of their child. Levels of retardation are described and assistance given to aid parents in determining how retarded their child is and whether to send the child to a residential school or keep him at home. Specific suggestions are made for helping the child to help himself, to become more independent, to play, to talk, to gain acceptance, and to control his behavior. A total program for the retarded in the community is discussed. (LE)
