Developmental Eclecticism: An Integrated Approach to Evaluating and Programming for the Learning Disabled.

The Motoric-Perceptual-Conceptual/Behavioral (MPC/B) model, a developmentally eclectic approach to evaluating and remediating learning disabilities in children, is described. The model is explained to view learners and the learning process on three educational levels (preschool, elementary school, and high school/post school), on three subject matter levels (reading, math, and science), and on three developmental levels (motoric, perceptual, and conceptual/behavioral). Emphasized within the MPC/B model is the importance of evaluation in seven areas, including auditory/hearing tests, visually oriented tests, and educational/academic tests. (CL)
