Studying the individual pupil

Stressing the need for study of the individual child, this book emphasizes an interdisciplinary approach, demonstrating the necessity for cooperation among teachers, school personnel, allied professional personnel, and laymen. Therefore, while the text has been written for pre-service and in-service elementary- and secondary-school teachers, it will be highly useful to all those allied with the teacher. The book outlines practical methods by which teachers, without, special training, can make studies and interpret the results as a basis for procedure. Points are amply illustrated by a profusion of actual case studies. Cautions are spelled out, with special stress on the need for school personnel who know when to refer pupils to specialists for help.
