The adoption section includes reports pertaining to the adoption process in Pennsylvania, adoptive parents' legal rights, medical and psychological issues in adoption, and the importance of parent/child interaction in cognitive development. The expressive art therapy section includes suggestions for some specific therapeutic uses of drama, art, music and dance activities with normal, disturbed, and handicapped children. The infant section contains discussions of topics dealing with early language acquisition, a psychoanalytical approach to infancy, sensorimotor development, high-risk infant survivals, and developing stimulating home environments for infants. The last section, which pertains to learning disorders in young children, includes information on minimal brain dysfunction, sensorimotor disabilities in preschool children and infants (including remediation activities), speech and language disability identification, hyperactive children and stimulant drugs, the value of play as treatment, and dealing with learning disorders in the classroom.
