Developmental Disabilities offersi chance to reach learning impaire] By Patricia Watson Staff Writer Most people know at least one family that includes a handicapped child, either natural or fostered. Clackamas Community College offers an extensive three-term curriculum in Excep tional Parent/Child Studies. Included are theoretical instruction and professionally supervised in-home experience for individuals engaged in caring for learning impaired/ handicapped persons. Jan Hickman, instructor and clinical pro gram supervisor, coordinates a training pro gram for parents of learning handicapped children that allows them to receive instruc tion in their own homes. Hickman will direct the class Saturdays between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. in Orchard Hall. Hickman feels that this special education is necessary for parents to effectively meet the demanding and unique needs of a learning impaired child. Much of a child's learning takes place between birth and three years of age. Fail ure to provide for this early learning robs the child of a basis for later development. When special educational programs are con ducted in the home of the young handi capped child, and when materials and activi ties available in the home are used as teach ing materials, the child responds by making more rapid progress than can be achieved by working with the child in a less familiar setting. One advantage of the program is that the attending child will receive beneficial respon ding and experimenting techniques (rein forcement) as he progresses. In this way he can benefit from the expert individual at tention he so desperately needs to help him compensate for his learning disabilities. After completing these special education programs, parents, by combining their know ledge of parenting, and the additional skills acquired through the Exceptional Parent/ Child Studies programs, can serve as con sultants to other parents of learning im- paired/handicapped children. Educated parents can apply their know ledge to help any other children they will parent. They will also be able to serve as consultants to other parents of learning impaired/handicapped children. The Developmental Disabilities program was started in November of 1970. Excep- 'Confederation’ gives NORML ten grand High Times Magazine reports that "on July 15 an unknown man wearing a sports shirt and dress slacks walked into the head quarters of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML) and left $10,000 in cash in the briefcase of Director Keith Stroup. The money, wrapped in rubber bands, was divided into seven packs of fifty $20 bills and three packs of 100 tens." The November issue's article went on to say, "The man entered NORML offices early in the afternoon and asked Stroup for some literature on the organization. Stroup left his first-floor office and went to the base ment for the information. When he returned, the man was waiting by the front door. Stroup gave the man the literature. The man then said, "By the way, I left you a donation in your briefcase." "How much?" asked Stroup. "Ten thousand dollars," said the man. Stroup, thinking the donation figure was a joke, thanked the man and returned to his office. In his briefcase was $10,000 in cash and a note saying it was from the "Confeder ation." The note in the briefcase read: The Confederation (an association of independent marijuana, hashish and hashish oil smugglers, ton dealers, growers, transporters and workers) do nate this $10,000 to NORML to has ten the day when our contributions to the betterment of society will be legalized. We regret the small amount - last year we could have given 100 times this - but since then the molecular totalitarianism of the ruling class has seriously depleted our resources. Never theless, we will attempt to continue to keep America high. We invite and entreat all others in the cannabis trade and otherwise to give to NORML as much as they can afford - now!
