How Blount County, Tennessee , Helps Its Mentally Retarded Youngsters Efforts of the county association to help mentally retarded children have brought encouragement from as far away as Rockford, Tcnn. Mrs. Hubert Carver, Louisville, Tenn., sister of Mrs. Robert Rus sell, Beaufort, has written a letter reporting the progress being made there to teach mentally retarded children. She writes, "We have been fol lowing (in THE NEWS-TIMES) the efforts of the parents of mentally retarded children in trying to get help in teaching and training their children." She reports that in their county of Blount there are classes for the non-educable mentally retarded, as well as the educable. In the Utter clams, the ed ucable, the "children can learn enough to be self-supporting when they are old enough to work. At least one, probably more by now, has been placed in a job. While they can't read and write above a second or third grade level, they can develop a trade and the girls can learn homemaking. The older boys are taught shopwork, etc.," she writes. "The biggest problem seems to be the general attitude toward the children and getting the parent* to realize they can be helped. In tact, the theme is Retarded Chil dren Can be Helped. We thought if the enclosed article and picture can be used, it might encourage those who are trying to organize a working solution in Carteret county. "Additional information can be given (how teachers were secured, ctc.) if the Carteret group will con tact Mrs. Bland Vann, Route 1 Rockford, Tenn. She is one of the teacheri here." The article, Non-Educable Men tally Retarded Children Taught How to Live, by Nancy Bradford, School Editor, which appeared in the Dec. 9, 1959 issue of the Mary ville-AIco Times, follows: When one enters Room 14 at Fort Craig School, he is greeted by a cardboard man wearing evening tails and top hat. He is holding a sign which reads "Mr. Top Hat Welcomes You to Mrs. Stevens' Classroom." This is the entrance to one of the 12 classes for mentally retarded children in Blount County. Mrs. Mildred Stevens' class differs from the other 11 because it contains IS trainable, not educable, children. The purpose of the class is to di rect the children in living with I other*. Thin is a class of teachable mentalljr-retarM children In Rockford County, Tennessee. The daily schedule points out the emphasis on social life. From 8:30-9 o'clock the children, ranging in age from 7-16 years, hang up their wraps in their individual lockers, play, and have roll call. Each day the class chooses a host and hostess who greet guests and perform other social tasks. During health inspection the chil dren tell what they ate for break fast. In one corner of the room stands a breakfast train. Each car is la beled with a picture of one of the breakfast foods. The children get to ride in the car labeled with a picture of the food they ate. If they drank coffee they are punish ed by riding in the black engine. Occasionally, says Mrs. Stevens, one of the children will say be drank coffee, so he will have to ride ill the engine. Between 9 and 9:30 there Is an activity period during which the boys and girls play rhythm games, exercise, or play outside. Until It o'clock the teachers serve Juice and the members of the class have a conversation and vocabulary building period. Also during this period, the children sing, have a prayer, and pledge allegiance to the flag. This is a high point for many of her pupils, says Mrs. Stevens, for each one has learned the pledge. From It until lt:3t there is a good grooming period. The chil dren eat lunch between 10:30 and 11^15. From then until 12:30 there is a rest period. After that the fifteen prepare to leave at 1:30. In the morning the children also work in arithmetic and reading workbooks and do art work. Du^ ing activity period, Mrs. Stevens with her helper. Mrs. J. L. Green fray, often reads to the children. At she reads, she acts out the story. Since they seemed to enjoy acting out stories so much, at the Christmas party last year the children acted out the Christmas story of the Three Wise Men. This year the classroom is sim ply ablate with Christmas decora tions. The front blackboard con tains a "Merry Christmas, Happy New Year." sign. On one of the side bulletin boards are pictures which the cIms already discussed. Ob the other bulletin board there i* a "Happy Holiday" Ufa made of cotton lettering. A homemade styrofoam ornament of sequinncd balls and stars has a Sputnik resting securely in the midst. Mrs. Stevens has explained the Sputnik to the children. Last year Mrs. Stevens took the. students to Chilhowee Park in Knoxville. Plans for a trip thil year are being made. The class Is ia desperate need of equipment, especially visual aids. Doll furniture, including a play stove, a sink, a cabinet, table and chairs, play toys and blocks and magazines. Each child now has to make his own color blocks. Mrs. Stevens says that a rocking chair, a chart stand, a set of bells and plastic beads would aid her cUuwork.
