20 the examiner Wednesday June 22 1977 Housing for disabled proiect of association The Barrie and District Association for the Physically Disabled is applying for grant to investigate housing in Barrie for the physically disabled Don Warden chairman of the housing committee for the association says the group has applied to Central Mortgage and Funding for the grant The first step would be visiting housing centres in areas such as Thunder Bay Oshawa Toronto and Ottawa the grant would be to cover transportation and ac commodation Warden said The idea he said is to pro vide housing which can be used by the physically disabled In many apartments wheel chairs can not fit into the bathroom he said because the hallways are narrow step on to outside balconies makes it difficult for disabled person to use the balcony Even elevators he said are narrow and dont facilitate the disabled person We dont want to be se gregated from society but we do feel we deserve the same treatment as others such as senior citizens who receive housing accommodations Warden said Urges group work to fight abuse Doctors with suspected child abuse cases have their hands tied says Dr Raymond Asquith Barrie pediatrician Their only means of action is contacting the local Childrens Aid Scoeily lCAS he says cant do anything he told crowd of 130 last week at daylong seminar on child abuse in Barrie Maybe they can Dr Asquith stressed the need for organizations to join forces and Work in real and meaningful way in the area of child abuse and neglect Even detecting and tracing numbers of abuse and neglect cases is difficult he says because they are so difficult to pinpoint How many children are abused he said in speech during the morning session held at Civic Square Tower know from my own in vestigation was not able to get figures out of our extremely ef ficient statistics system he said wasnt able to get them because this kind of diagnosis is not one Inade by doctors He says unless parent openly admits their child has been beaten or neglected doc tors are faced with the stories they are told We do develop suspicions of our own he said If child under two years of age comes in with fractures you wonder how child of two can get frac tures In the United States doctors have been told pictures should be taken he said Sometimes that is the only way you can demonstrate what has happened to the child he added Doctors also have only tem porary power to protect child suffering from abuse or neglect said Dr Asquith We can always take child into the hospital if we suspect abuse but thats only very temporary means to solve the problem he said Sooner or later that child is out and facing the same problems he added He says most children doclt tors see who have been sub jected to abuse or neglect are young children coming from broken or single parent homes Abuse stems from that initial impulse person with problems and on no control has to hit or silence their child he said Another aspect of abuse is the failure to thrive syndrome said the Barrie doctor The baby just doesnt want to seem to get on he said They seem almost to be in world by themselves He says children who fail to thrive have parents who cant or dont fondness to their child child watches its mother in very special way looking for reassurance and support he said Children who dont get that support withdraw Dr Asquith says people are slowly beginning to respond to pressure to report cases of abuse and neglect In Florida he said there were an annual average of 18 reported cases of abuse before hotline program for abusers began The number jumped to 15000 with the program with 4000 of these being investigated as serious problems It shows that people will respond if they have some way of communicating their problem he said The reported caseload of 18 jumped to 4000 because means of communication has been opened up he said Few reported cases in child abuse Cotnam Only per cent of child abuse and neglect cases oc curing in Ontario each year are reported says Dr Cot nam ntarios chief coroner Dr Cotnam says an estimated average of 250 people per million report abuse cases Based on an
