Remediation, Therapy, and the Learning-Disabled Child

Abstract

Although remedial measures have been described throughout this book, this chapter is devoted to a more systematic examination of possible treatment measures for the child with learning problems.

Thus, man’s brain shapes freedom. Through ever more effective innovations in the rules for social interaction, man’s brain frees him from fear. Through ever improving methods of production and distribution, man’s brain frees him from want. Through ever growing powers to perceive and plan, man’s brain frees him for love and fun.

Man’s brain does this and always has. We share the promise that it always will, though slowly and by steps with pain. For that is how we learn.

Karl H. Pribram (1964)
