Kennedy's White House Panel on Mental Retardation. The two basic steps are the ekillful utilization of present knowledge in order to steadily improve the process of rehabili- tation and care and second is continued research. "Clearly," Dr. Heber said, "the hope of the future lies in the accumulation of new know!l- edge and its effective applica- tion." OSHAWA DELEGATES Dr, Heber was speaking at the Third Annual Research Sem- inar sponsored by the Research and Development Committee of the Ontario Association for Re- tarded Children. The seminar took place Saturday at the Hospital for Sick Children, To- tonto, Delegates from this area included Dr. and Mrs, C. H. Jackson and John Liptay who ed the Oshawa and ict Association for Retard- ed Children. Mental Retardation, in On- tario alone, has handicapped an estimated 180,000 persons or three ¥ cent of the popula- tion. It is one of the major -- facing our na- Dr. Heber said that in some @ields there has been a notable fack of scientific interest in mental retardation. He stressed) the importance of a ter en- deavor both by the" biological mended the establishment of re- search centres, relevent to men- tal retardation, in universities and in institutions, He said that many medical school depart- lments undertake no research in mental retardation despite the inherent resources of these departments for investigations relevent to this field. "Highly specialized _confer- ences organized by the Depart- ment of Health, Education and Welfare to deal in depth with specific research problems underlying mental retardation," were recommended by the speaker, In order to encourage more professionals into the field, Dr. Heber felt that Federal Govern- ment support should be given to a National program of scholarships for undergraduate college students possessing ex- ceptional scientific ability, EXTEND FACILITIES Turning to the field of educa- tion, Dr. Heber said that if all retarded children are to receive adequate educational services, local communities and prov- inces must greatly extend spe- cialized educational facilities» substantially increase the sup- ply of teachers with specialized training, and more effectively co-ordinate the total resources of the community. He suggested that federal government sup- port would be necessary to insti- tute such a specialized program. Dr. Heber paid particular at- pre-school programs. He felt that it was most important to and behavioural sciences in the $, prevention and treat- ment of mental retardation and @pecifically in basic and clini- cal_ research. The speaker strongly recom- enrich the learning opportuni- ties of pre-school children who live in homes where such oppor- tunities are inadequate, These programs should be designed to assist the child in the develon- tention to the establishment of] toba ment of speech and language, problem solving, etc. and to effect desirable patterns of mo- tivation and social values, Such programs, he said, would neces- sarily include the formal parti- cipation of parents. Specialized classroom facili- ties must be extended to pro- vide for all mentally retarded children, Although the number, of classes for these children have steadily increased over the years, Dr. Heber said that lthe total number is still grossly inadequate not only for the train- able retarded but for the edu- cable retarded as well, More opportunity and auxiliary classes are needed. NEED DIAGNOSIS Dr. Heber emphasized the need for educational diagnosis and evaluation. It should be ex- tended to all school systems, he said, in order to provide for early detection of school learn- ing disabilities ard to enable appropriate school placement. He also encouraged the estab- lishment of national standards for teachers of retarded chil- dren, Dr. Heber's experience on the needs of the retarded is most extensive. His experience in Canada includes the former position of Psychologist, De- ve Assessment Clinic, Chil 's Hospital, Montreal, and Director of Education, Man- ftoba School for Mental Defec- tives, Portage la Prairie, Mani-' In order to serve on Presi- dent Kennedy's Panel, Dr. Heber took a leave-of-absence from the University of Wiscon- sin where he is research profes- sor in mental retardation and eer of special: educa- 'ion, Education Institute Big Success Members of Local 222, United Automobile Workers of Ameri- ca, and representatives of other local unions, attended the Osh- awa Area UAW Education In- stitute at the Union Hall, Sat- urday and Sunday.
