Abstract
A case study was carried out to investigate and evaluate a home-teaching scheme, with a cognitive bias, for parents of pre-school handicapped children. The scheme linked teaching at the pre-school assessment unit with teaching by the parents in the home. A speech therapist, acting as home-teacher, demonstrated activities to the parents of a Down''s syndrome child during weekly visits. The follow-up assessment after 6 mo. of home teaching showed accelerated progress in cognitive areas of development. As a result of this study the scheme is to be extended and finance sought.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
