Abstract

Parents and professionals have a common objective, in the pursuit of which each brings differing skills and activities; their joint aim is to aid the development children with learning difficulties, and to enable that child to lead as good a quality of life as possible. the primary task falls to the parent, day in and day out: the job of the professional is to aid the parent in performance of that basic task. without genuine collaboration between them, service to people with learning difficulties will inevitable be diminished.
