Abstract: This book is the follow-up report of research in Australia reported 12 years ago, assessing the learning potential of 81 children handicapped by rubella. This follow-up study addresses the question of the extent to which the abilities of hearing impaired rubella children, with or without cataracts, could be developed. A small subsample of the group had successfully overcome many behavioral and learning problems predominant in the first years of their lives. Author provides interpretation of the data on recovery presented in this survey research report. Bibiliography and case studies are included. AE Carlin, Ruth ; Hewitt, Heather
