His fair skin freckles in the summer. Because of fiat feet he needsruto wear sturdy shoes but his mobility is not affected, at all. Next to baseball he likes camping. This lad is attending special education' classes. He is average in intelligence.although his performance in school is not yet up to par, probably because of lack of stimulation in his early years. But Bobby is observant, interested in and inquisitive about a number of things, particularly the exploration of space. He sizes every opportunity to learn about outer space, the planets, spaceships 'and astronauts, and watches for television programs on those themes. Bobby needs the certainty of knowing that he is wanted and loved. The ideal hometor him will be one where the mother' and father _are -consistent: - In, their handling of children, -where- youngsters, are encouraged to talk about their interests and their feelings, and where there will not be competition for the parents' attention.

Reader com- ment and question invited) REHABILITATION 1 Vigorous, positive effort to prevent accidents an& a full range of treatment, cash benefits and general' assistance- to minimize their effect on the worker and his family when they do occur, might be described as the basic ingredient of the Ontario Workmen's Com- pensation program. Just as vital, and perhaps of even more significance in the long term to those who suffer severe injury and are unable to return to their former or similar work, is the activity of the Board's Vocational Rehabilitation' Department. Established in 1939 as an in- tegral part of the overall Work- men's Compensation system, the Department's primary objective is to return the injured workman to the work force in gainful em- ployment suited to his skills. The• phrase "suited to his skills" sets out the guiding prin- ciple in the Department's ap- proach to its task. -..It is the worker's ability, rather than any disability resulting from an ac- cident, which is the prime con- sideration in working out an in- dividual Rehabilitation program. REHABILITATION - 2 - A workman requiring Vocational Rehabilitation may undergo tests to establish his ap- titudes for a particular type of work, and of course personal preferences and interests are taken into consideration in selecting a field of endeavour. The Department throughout pr-oi.ides expert counselling and guidance, and once a decision has been made, will endeavour to place him in suitable em- ployment or arrange 'for the worker to receive the training required at an accredited school or training centre. If the situation warrants, arrangements are made, for on- the-job training.
