ABOUT THE BOOKLET
This book is one among the series of books developed
for the benefit of the parents and trainers of the mentally retarded and developmentally delayed children. The
activities in which these children are to be trained for independent living are very many. Among them, feeding, toiletting, brushing, grooming, bathing, dressing, gross
and fine motor activities and socialization are some of the basic and important skills. This series of books provide in a step by step manner, procedures for finding
out the delay or deficit in the child and the steps in training them. Simple language is used with appropriate illustrations so that parents and other trainers can easily
follow the steps. It should be remembered that the activities listed are some of the basic ones. Common sense and imagination of the trainers will be of great
assistance in enhancing the skill in the child. We hope that the trainers find these booklets useful to them. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
