Summary This book concerns itself with the education of children with special learning problems. To that end, the child, specifics of developmental status, overall motivation, and surrounding social environment are reviewed and included in the planning of educational strategies and methods. The content of material can be modified, the style of presentation may be altered, and the dimension of the learning environment itself can be adjusted. Teachers of children with learning problems will find advice on how to craft a remedial plan with specific objectives, followed by objective testing which should--when coupled with human understanding and perceptivity--help the child to find a more competent learning and life style
