Education of the slow-learning child

About this book

Every community faces the problem of the child who learns slowly in school. The problem of providing proper educational opportunities for these children is a serious one, especially as the compulsory age limit for school attendance is raised, and must be provided over a lengthened school period. The basic principles and practices in an adequate program for slow-learning children are essentially the same as for all children, and programs for the slow-learning child are an integral part of the general school program. A measure of educational growth is attainable for every child, and this book contains specific discussions and practical help on how to develop adequate programs for all slow-learning children.
