M.A. (Psychology) / Although recent research findings suggest that perceptualmotor training in the education of the child with learning problems is irrelevant and superfluous, clinicians have maintained that this method has notable success. The primary objective of the study was to explore the consequences of perceptual-motor therapy on the academic achievement, intellectual ability, and personality development of the MBD child. The subjects used were children in the aid classes of eight different schools. These children had been classified by the school psychologists and doctors as showing symptoms of MBD. A Solomon Four Group Design was utilised in the experimental investigation. This entailed the division of subjects into experimental and control groups. These groups were further subdivided so that half of each group received pre-testing and the other half no pre-testing. All the subjects received posttesting. Thus practice effect could be separated from treatment effect. There were sixty five subjects in the study, thirty two in the experimental group and thirty three in the control group.

Bibliography: leaves 168-172. / The primary focus of this dissertation was work with a group of children who were experiencing problems in reading and to formulate strategies which incorporates an innovative approach using music. Many learning problems encountered today could be avoided if children's earliest backgrounds were rich in songs, poems set to music, nursery rhymes and musical games. It is necessary for a child to experience rhythm in every possible way to enable him to read with a flowing rhythm and a pleasant intonation. A child must be able to feel and experience the rhythm of the spoken word by repeating rhymes, phrases, chanting children's names, for example. This is done by tapping the word, using body movements (clapping, stamping) and transferring this rhythm to percussion instruments while experiencing the speech rhythm. Many approaches have been used with children who are disabled readers and none use music as a tool. The progress of these children has therefore been slow, tedious and not always successful. Music has not been used before as an approach to assist children with reading disabilities. In this dissertation it has been proved that music helps children overcome their reading problems, as it is the only approach which offers total involvement of the child and therefore the best results are achieved. All children involved in the research enjoyed the activities and derived great pleasure from performing them unaware that the process of remediation was taking place.
