[Therapeutic pedagogic requirements of the encephalopathic child]

The clinical picture of a child extremely retarded and excessively irritable is shown. Between the age of 3 and 6 we worked with the little child, who has been a premature birth, first on individual basis, later on in group. The child learned good habits and will be able to go to special-school. This case shows that the education of the retarded child of preschool age is very important. It is a great fault if we neglect these children. The mentally handicapped child can develop harmoniously provided the structure of his own personality and his individuality are respected.
