I found a great deal of this out in college-one of my psycology and child
development professors was able to correctly identify me as a "Doman Baby"-one
of the children who went through this sort of program in the late '60's-early
'80s, just by watching my personality traits and the symptoms of my cerebral
palsy and visual-spacial learning disabilities. I've since read up on the
subject, and while it was the best therapy available at the time, I believe that
a good EC intervention program is preferable for a disabled child, and genuine,
natural parent-child interaction for any child. It's not worth the risk.作者: linkspeed 时间: 2005-2-28 17:01 http://groups.google.com.au/groups?hl=e...rver.com&rnum=3
It sounds to me like you're talking about a child who was physically
manipulated into exercises he could not perform (either physically or
mentally), which I don't think is what Doman patterning is about -- at
least not the kind Donna referred to (that was eventually applied to
normal children). The fact is that patterning *does* enable kids to do
things they otherwise could not, even normal kids. Anyone who has seen
a Doman "Better Babies" tape knows those kids would never have learned
all that stuff by age 3 without it . It's just that the long term
effects are uncertain, and some serious side-effects have been seen
following patterning.作者: linkspeed 时间: 2005-2-28 17:19 http://groups.google.com.au/groups?hl=e...%3DN%26tab%3Dwg
