Easter Seals
Led By Miss
Campaign Among Youth
Teen-age America
There is a critical national
shortage of trained professional
people in the rehabilitatio;n fields,
according to an announcement by
the Easter Seal Society. This
poses a serious barrier to ex
pansion of Easter Seal programs
and reflects a shortage felt in
every institution, governmental or
private, concerned with health and
welfare.
Today’s teenagers are important
in the work of the Easter Seal
Society for crippled children.
They serve as camp counselors,
aides to professional staff people,
drivers to transport the children
to and from Easter Seal treat
ment centers, and, in some cases,
as “sitter” to relieve muther of
handicapped children. They also
stage benefits of many kinds and
assist in other ways with our
annual appeal.
Stephanie Crane, 18, of St.
Louis, is National Teen-age Chair
man of the 1968 Easter Seal
Campaign to be held March 1
to April 14.
Stephanie, who was crowned
Miss Teen-age America before a
nationwide television audience
last November, will speak for
Easter Seals in personal appear
ances, press interviews and on
the air during the campaign.
As part of its program to serve
the physically handicapped, the
Easter Seal Society is redoubling
its efforts to recruit young men
and women of college age for the
rehabilitation professions. The so
ciety has on hand a wealth of in
formation to guide yhung people
into careers that offer unlimited
opportunities for advancement and
personal satisfaction.
The reason: many crippled chil
dren and adults being denied re
habilitation treatment because of
lack of trained personnel.
The Easter Seal Society points
specifically to speech therapy, a
basic and vital part of rehabilita
tion. Speech therapy, alone, is an
area short of some 6,000 profes
sional workers needed desperately
to help an estimated six million
children and adults in this coun
try who have speech defects.
Speech therapists are needed
to work with children who stut
ter, who have articulation prob
lems or who are the victims of
cerebral palsy, cleft lip and pal
ate, hearing loss and other con-
aAions that cause defects in
speech. There are also growing
numbers of adults who suffer loss
of speech through strokes and
other brain damage.
Speech therapy is a vital part
of the Easter Seal rehabilitation
program offered by 65 centers in
eighteen states to help speech
handicapped people reach their
greatest medical and vocational
potential. It is, in fact, a basic
part of the program, since com
munication is essential to normal
development and progress in all
