The curriculum guide for severely physically and mentally handicapped children includes activities to develop motor skills, self-help skills, communication skills, academic and preacademic skills, and social skills. The curriculum is being used at a school for retarded children in Indianapolis at which 80 percent of the clients have cerebral palsy. Curriculum content is organized into basic skills and subskills, suggested activities to develop each skill, suggested equipment, and resources (which are coded to a bibliography at the end of the guide). Also included are suggested daily and weekly schedules. Sample skills focused on by the curriculum are jumping (motor), dressing (self-help), recognizing printed names (academic), and eating correctly (social skills). (DB)
