Steps to Achievement for the Slow Learner

Steps to Achievement focuses on the early childhood training of the child with brain dysfunction. The book shows how the child may be led through the ascending steps of motor learning then perceptual learning, and then conceptual learning. It emphasizes how this may be achieved - through specific, practical, positive activities to guide the handicapped child. Steps to Achievement contains both theory and curriculum material for dealing with the dysfunctional slow learner. It emphasizes the child's need for a point of reference - himself- to orient himself in space and time. To this end, the book includes: Hand and arm activities - classroom exercises to help the child coordinate his extremities. Activities to improve eye-hand coordination, motivation, and bimanual participation. Pre-reading, pre-writing, and pre-arithmetic activities, developed in a step-by-step format. The final chapter presents theory and curriculum suggestions for teaching conceptualization to brain-damaged children. Steps to Achievement provides valuable information for all those who teach or work with preschool handicapped children. Positive emphasis and a wealth of teaching techniques make the book a useful, effective guide. --- from books dustjacket
