Abstrakt: The article looks into the study which investigates on the existence of a number of mentally retarded children of school age in local communities in Onondaga County, New York. Examination of the subjects has been initiated wherein it consisted of a battery of psychological, visual, and auditory tests. Significantly, some form of social experiences outside the home seemed to be indicated for the majority of the subjects. Finally, the expressed desire to maintain these children at home with provisions for the development of their self-sufficiency and independence suggests that some provision for individual family assistance may constitute a real need at the community level.
