Abstract
SUMMARYThis project came about as a result of my work with a family with learning difficulties. The solution to some of their problems and special needs was a simple but effective visual aid. The aid was used to monitor the feeding of a premature, ‘small for dates’ baby following discharge from hospital. The mother was unable to read, write, tell the time, or count the number of ounces taken over a 24 hour period. The baby was failing to gain weight and it was necessary to teach the mother the feeding requirements and to determine how much milk was being taken at each feed. Liaison between the many professionals was assisted by the introduction of a communication card. The aid has been adopted to promote health education in four district health authorities.
