Follow – Up an Interest

Abstract

The world is full of exciting things, and children, no matter their disability, have so much wide-eyed wonderment toward these exciting things that the alert, resourceful teacher will capitalize on the various interest evidenced by the children in the group. Airplanes, cowboys and Indians, snails, a bird's nest, a colorful leaf, a tramp in the woods can all lead, with the guidance and follow-up of the teacher, to worthwhile activities, concepts, and learnings. Here are four units which proved successful in working with various types of handicapped children—they could be used with any group of children with variations and adaptations.
