Product Description
Product Description
Dr Weihs worked at the Camphill Rudolf Steiner School in Aberdeen for over forty years and in this book demonstrates that love, intuition and aesthetic sensibility is as important as scientific understanding in treating individual children. Dr Weihs had a unique approach to learning disabilities, he saw them not as conditions that needed to be remedied but as equally a challenge to the self-knowledge and development of the parent, carer, educator or therapist. To work with the disabled child required a change in our understanding of them and in our way of being. Within the context of the general principles of child development, this book establishes learning disability as part of a continuum of differentness. This is an experimental approach and helps the reader to understand the experience of the child, to feel with, interact and accept the value of the human being. This is a classic in its field, and has been completed revised and updated.

Children in Need of Special Care
6 Jan 2007
Format:Paperback
The book is very helpful to me. They speak so nice about 'special child' who actually is a child who needs 'special care' and 'special understanding'. It is the adults (parents and caretakers) who must change their attitudes towards their kids. It also explains many specific features you may find in your kids and sees deeply into their whole human beings. It also recommends alternative ways to take good and special care for those in need.
