title: Toward a curriculum for the profoundly retarded, multiply handicapped child.
abstract: An approach to formulating programmes for the profoundly retarded child is described. It is suggested that the basis for programming should be an analysis of the child's ability to operate on, and find out about, his environment. This analysis can be approached by asking questions about blocks to development, needs and preferences, socialization and communication and play and sensori-motor coordination.
