Children at the organization meeting in the prince Charles school Newmarket on Tuesday May The meeting was at tended by parents of retarded children educational and health authorities and representatives of community and service organ izations Mrs V Hunt Toronto president of the Ontario associa tion for Retarded Children was the special speaker Mrs Hunt outlined the development of the association in the province She told of the work being done at the St school Toron to where 7 mentally retarded children are receiving instruc tion Mrs Hunt explained that children with an intelligence quotient of less than percent were excluded from attendance at regular elementary schools It is only since the parents of these children began their experiment at the St school and their courageous example was followed by others throughout the province that any recogni tion of this group of children was made by the department of cation It had been an accepted opin ion that they could not be educat ed and so they were kept at home learning nothing and forming a crippling dependency on their parents normal children wouldnt bo socially ad- it segregated In Ibis way said Mrs Hunt Since the Ontario association for Retarded Children has prov en through the successful opera tion of schools for this group that they can learn skills and thus become better adjusted emo tionally and more happy indi viduals the department has made a grant available for their education Like all educational grants it is based on a daily average at tendance at a recognized and ap proved school for the retarded- The grant amounts to a year per child Because of their need for in dividual instruction a class for retarded children is usually lim ited to seven In some instances successful classes have been op erated with as many as or but it depends on the children in the group The grant cannot cover the en tire cost of operating such a school In every case the par ents work to raise a portion of the money Service clubs and interested citizens have assisted in most centres In one town the Lions club makes an annual donation In another it was the Home arid School association which provided free transporta tion of the children to and from school The womens institute has helped in other towns J Churches have donated use of their nursery rooms to the parents some districts School boards have helped equip the schools a gradually throughout the province the many service clubs and community and church- organizations have become inter ested in the group Under the constitution the Ontario association each local group should include parents of retarded children educational and health authorities such as the school inspector and medical officer and representative mem- of the community who are interested in the all children The school is open to any child between the ages of 5 and la whoso mental capacity is that a norma child that is with an IQ of less It was decided ftt the lion
