At Home

Mrs. Dittman skillfully utilizes her wide experience as a specialist in child development to bring together in this small booklet information which doubtless will be of inestimable value to parents as they attempt to cope with the varied and complex problems of day-to-day-living which their mentally retarded children present. It is written in a style suited for a wide variety of people and stands as an excellent companion-piece with other Children's Bureau publications pertaining to child care. Nowhere in the booklet is there any maudlin sentimentality or crass indifference, so often seen material written about handicapped children. Quite the contrary, the style is one of sympathetic understanding where every effort has been made to present the problem of home care in an honest, forthright manner.

Mentally Retarded Children

In six illustrated booklets Cornelia Hollander has set forth a rationale and directions for an arts and crafts program for handicapped children. The first booklet describes how a group of parents and teachers of mentally retarded children organized a workshop to teach "uncreative adults" skills that they in turn could teach their handicapped children." The succeeding booklets deal, respectively, with finger painting and simple print making, drawing and painting, clay and other dimensional media, stitchery, and woodworking and odds and ends.

Multi Disciplinary Team

There is a shift in emphasis in nursing care of the mentally retarded child in the community. Firstly, the child must be identified and then his condition is evaluated, usually by a multi-disciplinary team. A decision must then be made whether the child will be cared for in the community. The nurse assists the parent or guardian in training for independence which includes self-care, use of toilet, personal hygiene, and dressing. Training in various perceptual and motor skills are also included in the nursing care plan. The nurse makes follow-up visits to evaluate progress and adapts the nursing care plan as necessary. She also has an important role in encouraging and guiding the parents. Nursing the mentally retarded child in the community requires specialised knowledge — and a lot of love.

Teaching Programme

This study was carried out in order to establish sensorymotor stimulation and teaching programmes for mentally retarded pre-school children in the community. A structure was created for the launching of such a programme. It was found that regression was prevented and slight but valuable improvement was effected in cases where a mentally retarded child was actively involved in a stimulation and teaching programme. The researcher considers such programmes as an important component of the mental health service in any community.
