Barbe, Walter B.; And Others – Academic Therapy, 1981
The authors refute attempts to reject modality based instruction for reading disabled students. They suggest that although no incontestible evidence justifies modality based instruction, further research on the issue should be conducted. J. Kampworth responds by emphasizing the lack of conclusive data. (CL)

To evaluate the effects of two different psychomotor programs on activity level and concentration, 34 children (ages 6 to 12) with educational problems were studied. Among findings were that children in both the yoga and general psychomotor programs were more efficient in their completion of criterion tasks after periods of physical activity. (PHR)

In answer to R. Allington's criticism of the Jordan Left-Right Reversal Test (JLRRT), the author contends that Allington's research used an outdated version of the JLRRT, that Allington's research into the relationship of visual reversals to reading skills does not reflect on the validity of the test to measure reversals.
