`Community Living'
presents a new future
or the developmentally
handicapped.
This is what Ontario
is doing about it.
Mentally retarded people are often capable of much
greater development than had previousiy'been thought
possible. Although they learn at a slower rate than
others, the developmentally handicapped can frequently
develop skills and abilities that enable them to be
integrated into the community as a whole.
The plan to achieve this goal, known as "Community
Living;" is administered by the Ministry of Community
and Social Services and is conducted in partnership
with local Associations for the Mentally Retarded and
other concerned community agencies. Basically, it
calls for:
• creation and funding of group homes and other kinds
of community accommodation
▪ increased numbers of workshops and life skills
programs
• early infant stimulation programs, parent relief and
development projects
• access for developmentally handicapped people
to a full range of community services.
All of these activities aim at achieving a better quality
of life for Ontario's developmentally handicapped, and
at making their experiences as, normal as possible.
The approach is a new one. A good one. A healthy one.
Your support and understanding can help it succeed.
