SummaryThe weaning practices of a sample of 65 working class mothers are described. In the majority of cases solid food was introduced relatively early, usually as a problem‐solving device. The practice of early weaning gave rise to a great deal of conflict between the mothers and their professional advisers and frequently resulted in serious contamination of the professional‐client relationship. Current professional policy and practice in relation to weaning are questioned and certain recommendations discus

摘要:

SummaryThree types of professionals who were potential referers to the speech therapy service were questioned about their knowledge and opinions of speech therapy. The responses of qualified teachers, doctors and health visitors were compared with those of students at or near to the beginning of vocational training for these professions. The responses of practising and intending speech therapists were used as a baseline. Between 70% and 100% questionnaires were returned for each group, and a random sample of 33 from each (total 264) was analysed. The answers showed that teachers were the least well informed about many aspects of speech therapy, including the nature and location of the work and the range of disorders for which such therapy is available. In view of recent recommendations that teachers should cooperate with other professionals in working with those children with special needs who are now being educated in mainstream schools, there would seem to be a strong need for teacher training to include more information about speech therapy.

摘要:

SummaryClumsy children have severe problems in developing adequate skills of movement in the absence of general sensory and intellectual impairments and without showing signs of overt neurological damage. Descriptive studies indicate a variety of characteristics which are typical of these children including difficulties with feeding and dressing, poor drawing and writing skills, and lower performance than verbal IQ. Studies which explore the underlying functional impairments in these children are reviewed, with an emphasis on the methodological problems inherent in demonstrating causal influences. It is concluded that attempts to relate clumsiness to impairments of visual and kinaesthetic perception, although as yet inconclusive, are worthy of further study.
