Abstract
This month we present something for the regular classroom teacher, for the speech and hearing specialist, for the reading teacher and for the teacher of younger or retarded children. I have written at length on an unusual book entitled ADAPT. It is one which not only advocates a major learning disability role for the regular class teacher but also presents her with a resource curriculum broken down into “areas of disorder.” Cued Speech is pertinent to those who work with speech and hearing disorders. It is a major contribution to the field, of which all learning disability people should also be aware. The Palo Alto Readers are well known to most Journal subscribers. The latest edition is good but comes in for some criticism for not being sufficiently linguistic in terms of phoneme introduction. The program by Ruth Cheves will appeal to those working with younger children or the mentally retarded. Until one works with a program like this and uses it with little children one does not realize just how much puzzle solving is learned.
