The Runaway Youth, Richard M. Grinnell, Monna Loftis

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

In fact, in some programs (e.g., Kephart, 1960; Frostig, 1961), little or no attention is given to language development, and even in programs that have a language-development component, some emphasis on perceptual and/or perceptual-motor training is common.
