Abstract
The present study was designed: 1. To observe a verbal learning process of a severely handicapped cerebral palsied child (female, 3 years old). 2. To explore how the verbal learning depends upon the identification by motor-activities. The results are as follows: 1. The verbal learning process of a severely handicapped cerebral palsied child could be observed. 2. The patient girl, who could have neither spoken nor communicated with others before, came to communicate with particular persons by using her hands after given training. 3. The finding of this experiment indicates that however severely handicapped a child may be, it is necessary to teach him means of commnnication as earliest as possible in his life. And it comes to the point that identificafion by "motor-activities" are one of the effective methods to help the children to develop their verbal behavior.
