- Summary:
-
Presented are six articles on residential living, vocational education, employment recreation, deinstitutionalization, and workshop experience of mentally retarded children and adults. K. Grunewald discusses the planning of housing for five- to eight person groups of retarded children and adults in varying kinds of residential facilities in Sweden to provide a stimulating educational environment, proximity to community services, and opportunity for normalization. Discussed by R. Bourgea is a Pennsylvania cooperative vocational education project for 10-24 educable mentally retarded high school students, who have rehabilitated old homes and built new homes, and who have been employed in building trades after graduation. Recounted by B. Posner are a gasoline station owner's techniques of teaching job skills to a mentally retarded pump attendant and providing stimulating experiences, which have resulted in a father-son relationship. B. Freeman and J. Mundy give an overview of recreation, which began for the retarded in state schools and hospitals for purposes such as personnel respite and now consists of offerings for all age groups and levels of retardation (the article is noted to be the first chapter of a monograph). Reported by C. Rodlund are reductions in South Dakota institutionalization (half of 101 patients) due to patient evaluation during a 4-year hospital improvement program; and explained with five case studies are casework, special class placement, foster home placement, and vocational training. C. Reece describes a Florida sheltered workshop involving can recycling by severely retarded male adolescents. (MC)
