Instructional Materials Available for Learning Disabled Children

Abstract

The paper this month strikes an heartening note for all those who work to remediate learning disability children. The author, Freddie Litton, documents the greatly increased number and variety of materials available in very recent years. Readers will also find the list of publishers addresses useful for direct ordering.

Remember though that the wise teacher purchases materials only for the specific objective for which they are designed. Use block designs and form boards only for training spatial relationship skills — not to teach reading. Too often we are led to believe that equipment or programs created for one purpose will have powerful educational spinoffs in other areas.
