Abstract
The perceptually-deprived child can experience his world more fully with intensive parental assitance. Perceptually-deprived children are defined as children having reduced perceptual information intake due to sensory limitations, such as blindness, deafness, neurological disorder or retardation. Experiencing is defined as the normal human capacity to be aware of, and respond to the physical environment, including persons and groups. The unique psychological, social and cultural difficulties which beset normal parents and prevent adequate experiencing and interaction with perceptually-deprived children are described. Solutions are offered.Keywords
