Understanding Young Children: The Handicapped Child in the Normal Preschool Class.
Mayer, Colleen A.
This booklet offers teachers, paraprofessionals, and parents practical, easy-to-read suggestions for working with the handicapped child in the normal preschool class. Each of the three sections (visual disabilities, hearing disabilities, and motor disabilities) emphasizes the importance of a warm, positive, accepting attitude on the part of the teacher. The text provides basic knowledge concerning visual, auditory, and motor disabilities, and includes a number of suggestions for integrating the handicapped child into the normal classroom routines. This text should prove especially helpful in the training of teachers and caregivers. Cartoon-style drawings illustrate the text. (CS)
