Trevarthen, Colwyn; Burford, Bronwen
European Journal of Special Needs Education, v10 n2 p138-48 Jun 1995
This article addresses the parent's role in the life of the infant and young child with motor impairments, in the context of the conductive education approach. Critically important are recognizing and responding to the infant's efforts at communication, enlivening the child's zone of proximal development through games and music, and seeing the child as an individual.
