Retarded not unproductive
BY LYNDA MapGILLIVARY
The image of the mentally
handicapped in the community as
socially dependent and
unproductive has severely
hampered their personal growth
as people, and also many
programs aimed at encouraging
that groWth.
Like most people, they need a
challenge. They should have the
.opportunity to function as
productive :human tlbeings with.
self-respect.
And now, according to Gordon
Halloran, a young • industrial
designer mentally retarded
artisans have the option 0t'
producing an unimaginative
wooden chair, or high-fashion,
hand-crafted furniture.
He said the difference)ies. in
the designs they are given to work
with. Furniture displayed
'resembled that from a high-
pric.ed import shop, tuit_actually.

retarded.
The display w,as at the
conference of the Ontario
Association for the Mentally
Retarded. The products were
.designed by professionals, then,
hand-crafted by the mentally'

modally retarded ,iriult at the
Workshop new, but there are
inure, in the area who could use
such an atrnospherre. There are
not the facilities at' the present
time to' accommodate any more
than the present number,
however.
"Many of those who were
working' at the uninteresting
piecework, such as envelope
stuffing or pasting labels on cans
• for hour after hour, are capable of
doing something rnor•e, of
developing their skills further
than . that", remarked Mr.

hegira a program to impose'

Projects that he and' the other
staff menaber'S are developing

A basic design submitted by
Ernst- 13ar•iriaer of ,Toi•orito was
selected as one „ of. the first
projects by the association. The
