Thanks again Jim and Susan Rum ball and Family Hundreds of causes of retardation, many of them could be prevented By JOHN MINER Reading a book, learning to add, or just going for a walk are simple activities for the average person, but they can be frustrating, if not impossible, experiences for the over 120,000 mentally retarded people in Ontario. But half of these people and their families didn’t have to live this frustration, says the South Huron and District Association for the Mentally Retarded, and they have started a campaign to educate the public on the prevention of mental retar­ dation. “There are 2t)0 or 300 causes of mental retar­ dation,” says Pat Wright, chairman of the campaign. “Some causes we know and some causes we don’t know." It is a myth that most retardation is inherited from one of the child’s parents. In fact few cases of retardation are hereditary. The South Huron program emphasizes that parents can take steps to lessen the chance that their child may become mentally retarded. Eating a balanced, nutritious diet is an impor­ tant step for the parents. The diet should be supplemented with nutrients if the doctor advises. A couple should seek genetic counselling before pregnancy if there is any ab­ normality in either parent’s family, or if they have had a child who has been diagnos­ ed as mentally retarded. Parent planning or family education services should be used, especially in pregnan­ cies occurring in women younger than 18 or older than 35. Risks are minimal in pregnancies occuring between ages 20 and 35. Rubella, known as three- day German measles, can be severely damaging to the unborn baby when contacted by the mother during the early months of pregnancy. People should check with their physician regarding immunization. All drugs, including aspirin, should be avoided during pregnancy, except those prescribed by the doc­ tor. Certain drugs may cause deformities, and some otherwise harmless drugs, in combination with others, can result in birth defects. Smoking and alcohol should also be avoided during pregnancy. The mother should seek good medical care for herself during the pregnan­ cy, If blood tests at any time indicate venereal disease for either mother or father, they should seek treatment immediately. Untreated kidney or bladder infections, thyroid disease and diabetes should be checked for and treated during pregnancy, These diseases often have few or no symptoms, but can cause abnormalities in the baby. Women should be cautious about the amount of ex­ posure they have to X-rays and other radiation before conception. During pregnan­ cy. the fetus may be damag­ ed if it is exposed to X-ray or radium. No X-rays should be taken without the doctor’s knowledge of the pregnancy. But a child isn’t clear from the danger of mental retardation once it is born. The main period of brain growth appears to stretch from about three months before birth to about two years after. Carbon monoxide, glue, lead and other toxic agents, if inhaled or ingested by a pregnant woman or by a child, can cause brain damage. Severe brain damage frequently results from lead poisoning which children contact by eating flakes of dried paint and plaster from peeling walls and ceilings around home. Children should be vac­ cinated against the ten-day measles, a disease that can cause brain and result in dation. There are groups of mental retarda­ tion. The severely retarded group have an I.Q. from 0 - 19 and make up five per cent of all mentally retarded. They are unable to be train­ ed in self care, such as dressing, washing, toilet, and eating. The severely retarded develop at less than a quarter the rate of a normal child. This group is usually recognized as being retarded during infancy. They often cannot speak, or only can speak a few words. The moderately retarded group cover 20 per cent of all mentally retarded and have an I.Q. from 20 to 49. They cannot learn academic skills or profit from a program for the educable retarded. They can learn self care, and adjust to a family and neighborhood. The moderately retarded can be taught self care in dressing, undressing, eating, toileting, keeping clean, and other necessary skills to make themselves independent of parents in the regular routine of living. Academic skills such as reading, writing, and arithmetic are beyond the capabilites of this group. They require some supervi­ sion, care, and economic support throughout their life. The mildly retarded group make up 75 per cent of the mentally retarded with an I.Q. of 50 to 80. They are inflammation mental retar- three main 36-INCH COMBINATION BICYCLE CHAIN LOCK I44 OBTAINS R.N. — Mr. F. Robert Dobbs, B.A. psychology, B.SC. nursing has obtained his Registered Nurse certificate from the College of Nurses of Ontario. Mr. Dobbs now a resi­ dent of Windsor, is a graduate of South Huron District High School and is the son of Mr. and Mrs. George Dobbs of Ex­ eter. slow in mental development and are unable to profit from regular elementary school. They can learn some academic skills — reading, writing, and arithmetic — and may acquire their grade two, three, or four by age 16. Their rate of development is one-half to three-quarters of an average childs. The mildly retarded can learn unskilled and some skilled work and have a limited vocabulary. Sometimes physical growth is normal and mental retar­ dation is not evident until he shows poor learning ability in school. This group of mentally retarded suffer more from social probelms than do the severely or moderately retarded. People often ex­ pect too much of them and they become frustrated. They cannct keep up with children of their own age and are often rejected by other children. Despite all the precautions parents can take to prevent mental retardation, they may still have a mentally retarded child. But that doesn’t mean the child should be shoved in a corner and ignored. The effects of mental retardation are minimized if the child receives intensive stimulation and is in an en­ vironment with normal children. A mentally retard­ ed child grows in the same patterns and has the same basic needs as all children. His growth may be slower in some areas and his needs may be greater in others. Accepting the fact that their child is mentally retarded is a difficult thing for most parents. Ann Klungel of Hensail describ­ ed the anguish a parent feels in an essay she wrote on mental retardation two years ago. “Eloise was retarded, she was three years of age. She had been in the hospital five times for various reasons, loss of weight, high fever, heart murmer, etc. but the word retardation was never mentioned. And when we were told Eloise was retard­ ed we did not believe it. Because no parent expects a mere typical child: he ex­ pects a perfect one. The ver­ dict is shattering and you think there must be a mis­ take. “This could not happen to us; it could not be true; God would not do that to us. So you run from one doctor to the other. One gave a reassuring answer while others confirmed what we were told before. We even took her to the United States and received the same answer." The realization of the truth is followed by a period of anger and depression. There is anger against the world and even against the other parent, writes Ann Klungel. “Then you start to look at each other as parents and try to blame the other partner. You are both trying to find out if it is in the other partner's family. With depression come also self- pity. ‘What will the people think? How can I face them?’ You also worry what the future will hold. Under normal situations the parents’ concern for the child grows less as the nor­ mal child gets older. With the mentally retarded the parents’ concern grows as the child ages." The mentally retarded aren’t without their own special abilities though, feels Ann Klungel. “We. as so called ‘normal’ people often hide our real selves behind a wall of timidity, hardness, and a certain amount of hypocrisy. We are often afraid to show ourselves. The mentally retarded can break through the wall that we have built around us. The mentally retarded do not have a wall around them. They show themselves as they are." ELECTRIC CHARCOAL LIGHTER 3« 48-INCH SPREAD PLASTIC KITE withCORD AND 10 FT.
