Slow learners are young people who for a variety of reasons, continuously or for long periods, under-function in terms of intelligence, educational attainment and social skills.\n\nThis book offers a clear analysis of the problems facing slow learners, their psychology and the types of education open to them.\n\nDr Brown reassesses the needs of disabled children and adults in the context of their families, with the emphasis on the practical level of activity and training possible for them. The aim is the integration of the disabled person .
