Extract

A survey of the literature on handicapped children reveals comparatively little on the subject of epilepsy.

Most of the articles dealing with cognitive functions have been concerned wholly or mainly with verbal intelligence as measured by tests of the “Binet” type. Those relating to behavioural or personality traits have been mainly impressionistic.
