    The effects of a developmental program on the intellectual and social functioning of severely and profoundly retarded children and adults
    (1976) Child, Glynis Disa; Milun, Myrna
    The aim of the present study is to evaluate the effects of a developmental program designed to provide activities and experiences suitable to the level of functioning of severely and profoundly retarded subjects over a wide age range. Past studies have largely concentrated on work with children, but if a critical period for intervention does not exist, adults too could be expected to benefit from training programs. An attempt will also be made to compare the effects of such a program with one providing stimulation without systematic training of any kind.
