DEC Has New Project
\
The Developmental
Evaluation Center in
Elizabeth City has un
dertaken a very worthwhile
project for children who
.have learning disabilities, in
‘ a five-county area of North
eastern North Carolina.
The counties involved in
clude Currituck,
Pasquotank, Perquimans,
Camden, and Chowan.
Mostly preschoolers,
these children are socially
deprived children who
seldom are exposed to toys
or books that stimulate
learning. Some of these
children have never held a
pencil in their hand or had a
book or toy of their very
own. Some have never had a
story read to them.
These children play with
toys at the Developmental
Evaluation Center while
they wait for services and
then return to homes where
stimulating toys are not
accessible to them for
various reasons.
Children who are tested
and found to be delayed in
meeting the milestones of
psychomotor skills can
benefit if DEC toys has toys
to send home with the child.
A health professional will
select the toy that best
meets the child’s particular
need.
