Experience Quotient and Human Development by Fr. Paul Zahler, O.S.B., Ph.D., is a rare kind of book capable of causing a significant impact in the field of child development as well as special education. This book not only challenges many existing notions of developmental education but also provides illuminating insights into the process of human development.

The fruit of more than 40 years of research by the author, Fr. Paul Zahler, with children who are mentally challenged , the book combines his expertise and experience to shed light on the process of human development, particularly in the early years. This book puts forth an innovative comprehensive program for optimum development of children with delays in development based on the Experience Quotient Functional Approach. This book provides child development an original perspective that opens doors for both normal and children with delays in development. The book is a treasure for those interested in new avenues in child development theory and practice.

Fr. Paul Zahler’s approach to child development is practical and can be easily followed. Following his method, parents or teachers can naturally and effortlessly lead the child to the path of optimum development. The concept has a direct impact in a child's growth and is applicable in everyday life.

In a technological world where it becomes increasingly difficult to experience the natural environment directly, where the preference is for vicarious experience, Fr. Paul Zahler’s assertion that experiences play a vital role in a person’s development is very significant. How important is experience related to air, land, water and fire to a person’s optimum development? Why is it necessary to have a wide array of sensory motor experiences in the growing up years? This book answers all these and many such questions.

Experience Quotient Matrix provides the total picture of the role of each sensory input and corresponding motor output in a complex web of multi-sensory development. This matrix provides a framework to build complete developmental plans that can create a balanced growth. Child development becomes predictable with this new tool. Fr. Paul Zahler’s book offers a new viewpoint from which child development becomes a more creative, more satisfying and less intimidating task. A very significant contribution that would influence the growth of the millennium child.

It is a must-read for parents, teachers, educationists, psychologists, special educators and everyone interested in the human child and human development.
