Significant between year differences indicated fewer referrals containing a diagnosis in 1989 than in 1982, less emphasis on requests for physiotherapy modalities and a significant increase in more generalised requests and inclusion of aims of treatment. These results suggest that greater clinical autonomy is expected of physiotherapists by medical practitioners in this particular hospital setting. The method used in this study could be applied in future to monitor referral to physiotherapy to examine whetherthese results represent a real trend.

Particular attention is paid to visual and visual~motor development. Spatial concepts such as distance and depth are covered. As most infant studies demand that one infers precursors of certain behaviours" without being able to measure brain changes directly, a number of animal studies will be revie,ved here. Such studies can only indicate the possible mechanisms underlying perceived developmental changes in human infants. THE PRIMACY OF VISION AND THE SEQUENTIAL NATURE OF SENSORY INTEGRATION Visual development is an important pre.. cursor of more 'complex' integrated behaviour,;. Research to be reviewed here suggests that the first few months of an infant's life are particularly important in this regard.
