Abstract: The purpose of the present study was to obtain data that could be analyzed to determine the significance of supplemental multisensory stimulation on the cognitive development of physically handicapped children. It was hypothesized that reading to physically handicapped children, 1½ to 3½ years old, for a total of 30 minutes daily, for 6 months (a minimum of 65 hours), would significantly increase the children's DQ/IQ scores, measured on the Bayley Scales of Infant Development and/or the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale, Form L-M. The subjects were eight physically handicapped children, aged 1½ to 3½ years, who were enrolled for weekly therapy in the Baby Group Program or the Baby Outpatient Program at the Cerebral Palsy and Orthopedic School, Greensboro, North Carolina. The primary caregiver for each child was his/her mother. The data were collected using the Bayley Scales of Infant Development and/or the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale, Form L-M to obtain pretest and posttest scores.
