"The film attempts to show what it is like to suffer from a perceptual handicap and takes as its title a quote from one of the children. It looks at the various behaviour patterns of some children that are probably caused by the disability itself - Dimitri's sauciness, Tommy's nervous reticence, Ross' desire to fail and Helaine's unruffled surface. Some of the parents of perceptually handicapped children take part in this film and there is a discussion about possible causes of learning disabilities."
