sup port stem has become an end in itscll rather titan means to Ilieend Miictoy claims the IAMR federation of 122 local associa tions and central arm has trillcii victim to iiicrctiientalism and has lost sight of the basic principles ol the movement That is UAMlt is more iii lcrtstid in gradual increases or improvements in its service operation ti cliighcr grants more workshops etc which is lllt creation of separate com munity than its original goal of finding place in the existing community for retarded peo ple lie states if the 0AMR federation wishes to influence the course of public policy it must realize that their in fluence will be minimized as long as their hands are held out for money Also if the OARM federa tion wishes to realize its stated goal and objectives it must recognize that it cannot do so by creating separate coni tnunity for reatrded people Miss Lowinger told the 20 per sons in attendance that the goal should be making them lthc mentally retarded whats accessible
