To Be Established In Curry
*>
The Curry County Inter
mediate
Education
District
recently received a Title Vl-b
Federal Grant to establish an
Education Evaluation Center.
This is a diagnostic and pre
scription center for children
with
learning
disabilities.
The evaulations include
a
psychological.
educational,
speech, hearing and language
assessment report that is sent
to the schools, other concerned
agencies and parents. The re
ports include recommendations
to the school and to the par
ents as to the methods and ma
terials that may be used
and the psychological climate
recommended to help a child
overcome his academic learning
handicap.
The advantages of establish
ing a satellite center are con
sidered to be as follows:
1. It will provide efficient
and effective diagnostic and
prescriptive services to child
ren in an existing program.
2. It will provide diagnostic
and prescriptive services for
children with difficult learning
disabilities.
3. The satellite center will
receive materials developed
by the Model Center-Learning
Disabilities (Education Eval
uation Center).
4. The evaluation personnel,
school psychologist, extreme
learning problem teacher and
speech and hearing specialist,
will receive a special one-week
training program in August
1975.
5. On-site visits will be made
by Model Center personnel
from Oregon College of Edu
cation to help in the develop
ment of the satellite center
during the first year of oper
ation.
IED staff members of the
evaluation education center will
be available to make presenta
tions to individual school staffs
so that they may be fully aware
of the center's function and
capabilities.

one of the world's most unique
commercial
fishing
boats.
Owned by California dentist
James Vann, the 62 foot all
aluminum "Osprey" will serve
aa home for the entire Vann
family. Custom-designed by
Munk of Seattle, and construct
ed by Freeman-Howard of Gold
Beach, the boat offers such
family features as special high
railings to protect the children,
non-slip decks, full-sized refrig
erator, range, microwave oven,

by sport fishermen to reduce
the hoist fee from $5 per trip

ulation that commercial fishing

seniority rights, was passed at
the request of the local com
mercial fishermens association,
and will become effective on
September 18,1975.

vestigate the cost of installing
expanded metal tracks on the

Bills in the amount of $6,-
674.93 were approved for pay
ment.
