Vet, a section of our population is Odds 'n ends By Elaine Townshend the other day that we are all slow in one way or another. Some of us are slow at Figur- ing out mathematical pro- blems; many of us are slow- ly converting to the metric system of measurement. Some people are slew at labelled "mentally retarded and along with the . label. comes a stigma that makes their lives even more handicapped. In 1981.

Intellectual functioning traditionally has been assess- ed by an individual standar- dized test of intelligence - the IQ test. Adaptive behaviour is also coasiderednthat is. bow an individual meets the stan- dards of his age and cultural group in personal in- dependence and social responsibility. IQ tests are not always valid tests of intelligence. though. for people Who come from socially disadvantaged backgrounds or who have emotional disorders, specific learning disabilities,or ss physical handicaps. Assess- ing adaptive behaviour is dif- ficult for the same reasons. • The majority of mentally handicapped people are mild- ly impaired: only a minority are profoundly retarded. Un- fortunately. the image most people conjure up when they think of the label `-mentally retarded" is one of total dependence and. inability to function. The TV Ontario program tried to enlighten viewers by focusing on the People First conference held in Toronto in March 1981_ Morethan 500 mentally handicapped adults. representing different areas of Ontario. attended the con- ference. It was the largest gathering of mentally han- dicapped adults outside of an institutional setting in .Canada. • People First is an indepen- dent self-help group with chapters in Canada and the United States. Ir is an organization of people who are labelled mentally retard- ed. In this•w-ay it differs from organizations. -such as the Association for the Mentally • Retarded. which is composed of people who work with the mentally retarded. The main challenge of Pecs tile First is to make the public and agencies aware of the in- justices that mentally retard- ed people live with and to ad-•. vocate changes. A secondary purpose in that..by organizing in grottos. mentally handicap- ped people may begin to feel they have some control over their lives.

The second is to promote de- institutionalization, o-institutionalization,and the third is to achieve minimum wage in sheltered workshops.
