SummaryCommunicative behaviours develop in early infancy. Blind and multihandicapped infants are at risk in developing social signal behaviours that serve the purpose of signalling the attention of adults and engaging adults in shared interactions and social routines. Primary intersubjectivity or adult—infant interaction has been shown to provide the matrix in which communicative behaviours are acquired. The social routine is one form of adult—infant interaction in which mutuality and shared attention to the same event is developed. The results of this study indicate that very young blind and multihandicapped children can develop intentional and communicative behaviours in the course of social routines based on traditional nursery rhymes. Of particular interest were the youngest subjects who were 15 months—2 years and 3 months at the start of the study. These subjects demonstrated a variety of social responses to interaction with adults. Their responsiveness was expressed in the modalities that were most accessible to them. The physically handicapped children used vocalization as a primary mode of communication, while the physically active depended on physical gestures and pos

摘要:

SummaryThe role of the developmental physiotherapist, rather than the general physiotherapist, in a developmental vision team is described. Physiotherapy can contribute to both the assessment and intervention programmes. Motor development and associated postural reactions will be trained, abnormal postures prevented or decreased, and body image and use of residual vision developed. Selection and supervision of aids and play equipment, as well as decreasing of physical handicap, are also included in the physiotherapist's role in helping the child and his family.

摘要:

SummaryThis paper examines the place of schools within the welfare network for children and young people, and notes potentially disfunctional elements of the social division of welfare. The stratification between welfare professions and the relationship between normal and crisis care is discussed. Three levels of school based welfare systems are identified, working alongside school attached and community based professions, each with its own characteristics. Trends are identified which reflect the development of more effective multi‐professional cooperative car

摘要:

SummaryMany mentally handicapped teenagers may be faced with prolonged periods of leisure but few have been educated for a life of leisure. Reference is made to survey data on ESN(S) school leavers to illustrate some of the obstacles standing in the way of their constructive use of leisure time. A small scale intervention study is described involving a group of ESN(S) teenagers which resulted in their increased social interaction and activity levels in free choice periods at school and at home.
