In view of the news of the untimely death of Dr Carl
Delacato,Educational Psychologist,former Head Master and
educational advisor for standards for Pennsylvania who
along with the Doman’s proposed the basis for Neurological
Reorganisation based on the concepts of Human Movement
proposed by Fay, is it now the opportunity for the AAP to
reconsider its position on the work of the Doman-Delacato
team ultimately re-engineered in later years by Delacato
alone to arrive at a programme to assist neurological
dysfunctional individuals currently practised worldwide by
so many different organisations. These organisations
proclaiming and recognising the part played by Delacato in
developing the basis of the techniques they currently
employ.
Should the AAP stand alone in the World continuing alone to
criticise proceedures existing since more than 50 years to
the benefit of thousands of individuals having and had help
from those proceedures?
Arguably two questions dominate this issue; why 15 years of
silence between 1953, the first pronouncement of the group
of its intentions and 1968, the first criticism of the
group’s work and why only publish in its in- house
Journal “Pediatrics”.
Could it have been as Neman et al suggested in Experimental
Evaluation of Sensorimotor Patterning used with Mentally
Retarded Children; American Journal of Mental Deficiency
1974, Vol.79, No.4 372-384 that “The rapid rise to
prominence of the Doman-Delacato regimes, the zeal of their
followers, and stories appearing in the popular press
telling of remarkable “cures” all served to bring the wrath
of the “establishment” to bear upon the Institutes for the
Achievement of Human Potential and its methods”. A case in
point being the paper by Freeman, R.D. in Journal of the
American Medical Association, 1967, 202, 365-388.
The Neman article along with the results of a two-year
Sensori-motor Training project published by the National
Association for Retarded Children in Mental Retardation
News Vol. 22, No. 3, June 1973 reported “Findings indicate
that the programmes involved were of significant benefit”
and in the 1974 document “The question raised in the
present study- does sensorimotor patterning have a
measurable effect in any behavioural domain -has been
answered affirmatively”.
Both of these articles are ignored by the AAP, in truth,
the whole statement by the AAP, first published in 1968 is
based principally on the criticism of the original practice
of the 50’s and 60’s having in their updated statement of
1982 and 1999 made no reference to Delacato publications
and practices after 1970. These early criticisms having
been wholeheartedly refuted by the 1973 NARC study.
The number of Movement Therapy organisations currently
practising worldwide, many in state educational
establishments in Europe, North America, South America,
South Africa, Asia, Australasia, as well as many individual
professional therapists, in spite of the pronouncements of
the AAP, is testament to the Delacato legacy, the AAP
should acknowledge Delacato’s place in history.
