Teachers of educable mentally retarded children have long felt the need for specific remedial procedures for children in their classes.

The results of studies of the ITPA reviewed by the authors indicate a consistent pattern of psycholinguistic strengths and weaknesses from which remedial programs can be designed for the educable mentally retarded.
King et al. (Sun,) studied this question.
