The new name suggests a positive • image, rather than the labelling - term of mentally retarded. The association helps to support t individuals with various handicaps. Not all "consumers" — another move toward a positive image and away from the label "clients" have a diagnosis of mental retar- dation. None of the programs, services and supports will change under the new name. The change is significant to the association because developmenally handicapped people needjobs — and new houses in which to live — in the community.

The centre hopes to open a retail store in the Wingham downtown area in the near More. A propial for fundhig is now under consideration by the ministry. The vocational centre is a part of the association's community ac- tivity program which includes the providing of extra help and Support to some consumers in areas such -as speech and other cognitive and daily living skills. • " - The centre provides the work setting necessary tO•adetluately prepare the employees to work in the community.
