KU Clinic Aids Slow-Learners
By MARSHA LIBEER
Kicking a ball represents more than playful activity for Rob. It is therapy to improve Rob's eye-coordination.
For Anne, playing with dominoes will hopefully strengthen her eye-hand coordination.
There are approximately 20 Kansas elementary school students, who like Rob and Anne, are working with the University School of Medicine at Motor Clinic in overcoming various learning disabilities.
The clinic, one of only several on college campuses throughout the United States, is directed by cdc. (U.S. Department of Education) professor of physical education.
CARLSON SAID the clinic was started in the fall of 1970 after he had been a member of members decided it "had value and a place at the University and a lab."
The previous summer Carlson worked with Nita Sundbye, professor of education, and Floyd Hudson, assistant professor of education, to see how they could children with learning disabilities.
Sundayde said recently, "When we first began, we tried to look at kids with emotional, remedial and perceptual-motor problems.
We looked at it from all different points of view."
Carlson said they felt their work seemed to be having some positive effect on the children. So the clinic beaten.
THE CLINICS' fame spread from Lawrence to other Kansas towns. Students now come for the annual Leavenworth, Baldwin, Kansas M. McLoughlin and Wellsville. He also refers to a referral from Dudge City
A clinical diagnosis for each child includes a parental assessment of the development of the child thus far, a physical examination by a doctor, the checking of records and referral to a remedial programs the child has been in, a talk with the child's parent, and an evaluation of clinical test results.
Twelve clinical tests are given at the clinic. The tests check cerebral aurotic discrimination, reflexes, learning aptitude, motor control, reading difficulties, visual perception and motor control.
graduate student, gives the Kansas Test of Perceptual-Motor Dysfunction, an experimental examination which tests motor abilities such as throwing, handwriting, and hopping.
Most of Miller's testing has been with hyperactive children, who she thinks are the hardest to handle and seem to have the most problems.
Miller said of the diagnostic testing, "I feel that there is a great benefit for the children, in that can help the basis of therapy for them.
"It is a good feeling when you know that you might be doing something for the children."
Dennis Knapczyk, Lawrence graduate student, also administers diagnostic testing of children at the clinic.
KNAPCZYE SAID one test he gave, the Detroit Test of Learning Aptitudes was one of the better tests that is given."
"It ites on all of the skills needed in classroom settings," Knapezyk said.
children in the clinic gives me a frame of reference," he said.
Carlson said, "The child that comes here has normal head development and no arm is retarded. He is encounters difficulty in school in some area. Some of them are significantly behind. We have several who are in the fourth or fifth grade in school and read at the first grade level.
"THEY ALSO have what we call perceptual-motor problems. They have some distortion in the way they perceive their environment and respond to their environment in the sense of doing something."
He said he enjoyed working with different types of children. "I've taught in special education, and working with
Carlson said the problems varied with each child and the results of the evaluation have not been decided that nothing was wrong with the child, to recommending that he attend Menninger Foundation in Topeka.
He said, "If the child is perceptual-motor problems, then we should give him an attempt to widen up behavioral goals or objectives that we would like to accomplish toward achievement. Once we've set up these

The new basic science building and hospital addition at the Med would provide for an expansion of the number of beds, increase in the number of beds by about 350 and, at the same time, an increase in the enrollment of local students.
The Board of Regents would be authorized to issue up to $44 million, to be paid by fees and rental charges.
Construction to expand the square footage of floor space of the Med Center by about 50 per room. Built during the last six months of 1973.
"I think the problem we had was that when the children came to us, they were two or three academic areas," he said. "Now we started an academic program and we're in a different ball game because we can often get them to play with our class very close to their class."
