Description: The purpose of this book is to provide specific guidelines, pointers, curricular ideas and procedures for teaching children with serious intellectual deficits. Some amount of general information, philosophy, theory and even bias does appear. The major content, however, is aimed at providing information regarding the how, what and when of classroom instruction. Every human being possesses a potential which exceeds his current level and only through continued effort can movement toward realization of the potential be made. With handicapped individuals that effort represents an even more crucial variable in the person's life.
