A Biologically-Based Framework for Intervention Projects

Epstein, Herman T.

Mental Retardation, 14, 2, 26-7, Apr 76

The author cites the existence of parallel brain and mind growth spurts (phrenoblysis) in the periods 2-4, 6-8, 10-12, and 14-16 years, and suggests that early intervention programs for retarded children should be based on periods of greatest brain growth. (CL)
