Summary/Abstract: The article presents the case of a severely handicapped seven-year-old male child with autism. Despite several sensorimotor dysfunctions which presuppose unfavourable prognosis in his development, the boy systematically shows progress in the areas of cognitive, emotional and social functioning. The author stresses that designing neurologopedic therapy for a child with multiple disability is a very difficult and responsible task. It is always necessary to precisely assess the level of psychomotor functioning of the child, to reasonably estimate its potential and, most importantly, to show therapeutic creativity in the process of attaining the objectives set in the program.
