...know what it is to live in the broken down shotgun shacks of the slums, to smell the stench of the streets and watch the sore festered babies crawl along the floors among the roaches and rats and dirt and filth...
...organized Philadelphia's Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential. The therapy is based on a highly disputed hypothesis. According to the Doman-Delacato theory, impairment of speech, vision and manual skills can be caused by the interruption of a child's normal progress from creeping to crawling to walking. Discarding standard evaluation systems and using an elaborate diagnostic scheme of their own, Doman and Delacato classify retarded children in three questionable "profile" groups: 1) truly brain-injured. 2) psychotic, 3) genetically brain-deficient. They treat children in any of these groups who have presumably skipped...
...home for daily periods ranging up to twelve hours-between follow-up visits to the I.A.H.P. at 30-to 90-day intervals. In more severe cases of mental and physical retardation, treatment begins with physical manipulation of the limbs by therapists, then parents and family friends, to simulate creep-crawl-walk movements. Usually, at least three people are needed to put the child through his paces, and the therapy must be carried out in five-minute sessions, four times a day, seven days a week...

At last year's Pan American games in Winnipeg, he won five gold medals. The only way anybody is likely to keep his score that low in next fall's Mexico City Olympics is by scheduling events simultaneously...
