Horizon - man and science today
"When I'm confronted with the written word it is like looking at some strange Etruscan script carved on a rock by an ancient scribe."
A surprising number of children, bright, perceptive, and apparently normal, seem unable to comprehend language. To some, writing is meaningless and they can never decipher words or numbers. To others, speech has no significance and they react to the spoken word as if they were listening to some incomprehensible tongue.
Tonight's film looks at this seemingly inexplicable phenomenon and attempts to throw some light on the problems facing these children. It shows the work being done to help them, and how they learn to participate in our highly literate society.
