Described are the effects on auditory skills, reading scores, and oral English skills of use of the Peabody Language Development Kit with 23 learning disabled primary grade children from French speaking homes. (DB)

Examined was the extent of increase in learning efficiency of 72 mentally retarded children, mean age 14 years, when the stronger of two perceptual modalities (auditory or visual) was matched to a unisensory auditory or visual perceptual curriculum. (Author/MC)

The results suggested that all Ss used similar temporal frames of reference, but that hearing impaired Ss demonstrated developmental lags. (Author/DLS)

The Rosner Perceptual Survey (RPS) and the Rosner-Richman Perceptual Survey (RRPS) were developed for screening perceptual motor dysfunction. The RPS consisted of 17 subtests of visual motor and auditory motor functions, general motor skills, self awareness, and integrative function; the RRPS, intended for teacher or paraprofessional use, included…
