First published in 1987. Most non-handicapped children entering
school are prepared for the school curriculum in that they have
acquired, incidentally, a range of skills that are needed for
school-type attainments (reading, numbers, etc.). However, by
definition mentally handicapped children make slower progress and
do not learn so easily in this indirect fashion. This book is a
manual presenting a programme which sets specific objectives and
methods by which mentally handicapped children can be taught the
basic prerequisites of school success. Implicit in this intention
is the assumption that many such children can and should be
admitted to ordinary schools. A linked assumption is that parents
and non-specialist teachers will therefore need practical guidance
in this area. The book will also be of value to teachers in special
schools for the handicapped because it focuses on the
difficult-to-teach basic prerequisites of school attainments. Each
chapter contains: 'ceiling' objectives; an outline summary of
step-by-step objectives; an assessment-for-teaching checklist;
background teaching activities; general teaching rules; and
specific teaching procedures for each stage.
