Creativity, Environmental Deprivation & Exceptional Children
The optimum development of a nation depends upon the nature and kind of its human resources. All individuals, regardless of their assets and liabilities of personality and potentiality, contribute towards national development. Exceptional children, too, cannot be excluded from this. The need to study creativity in exceptional children gains more importance because it permits the individual to express himself according to his mode of functioning which is an important means of adjustment. Numerous studies on deprived children have also been reviewed with regard to SES, caste, rural-urban environment, socio-cultural disadvantage, cross-cultural differences, racial differences, institutionalization and the critical appraisal of findings has been done on the basis of intelligence and creativity. Creative art plays a vital role in the life of these children. Innumerable activities in aesthetic education like pottery, music, drawing, sculptures, language arts, design making, craftwork, etc. for children with disabilities have created a renewed interest among the educators in designing better education and rehabilitation programmes. Undoubtedly, this book will receive wide acclaim from rehabilitation professionals/ personnel, research scholars, resource teachers, placement/rehabilitation officers, policy makers, teachers & students of special education, organizations of the disabled, etc.
This book will be a valuable addition in any library for B.Ed/M.Ed/Diploma in Special Education/M.A. Psychology/M.A. Education/MSW/MSc Child Development students in all Indian Universities. In short, this is a very useful document to provide right kind of information to all stakeholders so that they may take steps to improve the quality of life of persons with disabilities.
