Becoming Karl - Norma Delgarno

Karl was born seriously damaged by toxoplasmosis and hydrocephalus. Barely alive at birth, he survived, but doctors said he would be ineducable. Today, fifty-six-year-old Karl is artistically talented and has been in the workforce for twenty-five years.

Poignant and fascinating, this success story with its theme of one child's development against the odds has universal implications: the plasticity of the human brain and its ability to reorganise and repair itself under the right stimuli; the vital role that music and language play in the development of social, cognitive and motor skills; and the resilience and strength of the human spirit under stress.
