title: [Deficiencies in early education of the disabled (author's transl)].
abstract: Medical care is predominant in the early education of disabled infants. Although the physician is the first specialist assessing the disability, he should not dominate the course of the therapy for too long. Otherwise other occupational groups, e.g., pedagogues and psychologists are involved too late in the therapeutic process. The result is that the development of disabled babies and infants is characterised by a deficiency in the most sensitive learning and receptivity phase. Early educational measures are most often carried out at home with the active assistance of the parents. For families who have not, or not yet, accepted the disabled child the experts' help is of particular importance. Early education of disabled children is still at a developmental stage. It is hoped that the following article will increase the knowledge about this problem complex and encourage discussion.
