THE HANDICAPPED CHILD

[摘要] A SEMINAR on Motor Handicapped Children was convened at the International Children's Center in Paris on December 7, 8, 9, 1964. and was notable for the deep concern displayed by the many representative nations for the disabled child. There appeared to be a universal expansion of the concept of the handicapped child to include many conditions beyond those of an orthopedic nature. The Children's Bureau of the United States now concerns itself with many problems including disorders of any one of the senses, epilepsy, congenital heart disease, and other congenital defects. One of the broadest definitions was that provided by Andersen of the Danish National Institute of Social Research wherein was included all individuals with a disease or defect of such degree that the afflicted person, if unskilled and without support from his surroundings "would have difficulty coping with daily life on an equal footing with others."
