Abstract
Because intelligent behavior depends on the development of all psychological functions and upon their integration, remedial training, although it may focus upon one area, must take into account all areas. Specific examples are given as to how visual perceptual exercises may also be used to enhance the child's development in language, sensory-motor functions, higher thought processes, integrative abilities, and social and emotional growth. Principles of teaching, such as over-learning, directing attention, individualization, and personalization apply to ability training as well as to teaching of academics. Facilitation of transfer of initial visual perceptual training to academic skills is discussed and illustrated,Keywords
