Summary Educative intervention with the young severely subnormal child and his family is envisaged as an example of ‘action research’ in which the dual roles of the practitioner‐researcher and the client‐subject are examined. A view of the effect of the interaction of these roles on the intervention and its evaluation is given, and conclusions drawn concerning the nature of evaluation appropriate in future projects of this kind.
