On March 7. the CBC .aired a .program;
called "Explodingthe yth."" Hosted y
M- I^I d b.
Warner Troyer.. the film was, prepared b y
the Qatari() Association for the Mentally:
Retarded and the .Ontario Ministry .of
and Social! Sryic , It : rose
Community a es sett
was to refute some of the incredible ni the
and: prejudices much of the public feels
toward the Mentally handicapped.
Two myths .that were: exposed, ex d . were
�' 1?
"Instituti n$ are the best
. places .for
mentallyra arded persons'''.
And
"institutions have always been part,a. of
y
societ .""
The truth 3$ ittStitutions beR an in Canada
one hundred and: twenty -Eve years ago.
They started as schools toP
ive special
g
education and trainng to mentally
handicapped people.
PP P P
What began as a good idea. was. turned
into tragedy by a minority of ignorant
-.people. who con
vinced the., rest othe
.Public that mentally retardedpersons
would endanger society if allowed: to roam.
around feely.
Schools became institutions with locked'
doors, fenced yards and strict supervision.
As the number of patients grew, larger
institutions were built. Many staff
members wanted to help and to teach their
patients, but they just didn'F.xtave enough,,
time or training.

putting a mentally.handit:apped person in.
an institution to taping a>biird"s. wings.
The public's fear was gradually"
eaUntered by the hard work- of associations
nS
for the mentally retarded; many were made
up of parents of mentally handicapped
children, Integrated schools, workshops
and group homes are signs. of progress;
A teacher "at an integrated school
'explains that students learn from each
other, Mentally__ handicapped children
abandon some abnormal habits when they
realize .they are not done by the other
students, while non -handicapped children
learn there is no need to, fear the mentally
retarded.
Employees • ,discover .mentally.
.handiea,ppedl employees carry out their
jobs reliably, and need no !special
treatment: they n eed only to be treated the
same as.Alt the other employees,
Famous People's Players is a successftd
puppet troupe that works the tough
entertainment rtrcut in Las Vegas. Half its
members are mentally handicapped; all its.
members are professionals.
A group home is a healthy alternative to
an institution. A Man. who was.:
institutionalized for 21 years; malls living
under constant supervision and not even,
beingallowed to go outside unless a staff
member was able to take hint taut.
Now he is enjoying the freedom and
independence of a group home and
explains that residents of group homes
learn how to managp for themselves and-
howto•get alongoh other people. oP

important of ,all !they realize they .are.

as adults. He stresses theurgent need for
more group homes. m ,
A young girl compared being in an
institution to being treated like a criminal,.
even though she had never cornmitted� a
crime;
Integrated schools, sheltered
workshops, outside employment and group.
homes are signs of improvements for the
mentally handicapped. The progress has
been painfully slow, and unfortunately
,some of the public is' still "hamstrung by
ignorance," which shows itself in remarks,k
s,
such as "An integrated school is fine as
long as my kids aren't in it"and "A group
home is a . great idea but not in my
neighbourhood,,"
"Exploding the Myth" presented a good
casefor the mentally retarded. Now the
onus is on the public to realize the progress
of the mentally handicapped, as ,well as
other handicapped groups, is impeded not
only by the . individual's handicaps but
also by ignorance, which has been the
p p .... ng,
public's handicap sob to
