Handicapped, Retarded Child
Group Tells Recent Progresse
President Mrs. Joe Mollahan
presided at the business
meeting of the Treasure Val
ley association for Handicapped
and Retarded, Inc., when the
group met May 14 at the Moore
hotel in Ontario. It was reported
that funds are still coming in
to support the organization, and
approximately $70 has been
realized from the Friday
evening auctions.
Mrs. Jim Frasier of Ontario
reported on a meeting which
she had attended to obtain a
Vista volunteer worker for the
local area to work with the men
tally retarded. She said that it
now appears that such a worker
will not be available before
the fall of 1969 or even later.
Six members of the ‘J’ Sor
ority, with their advisers
Mmes, Del Meeker and Norman
Ireland, attended the May 14
meeting to report on a May 2-4
YOUTH workshop, sponsored by
the Idaho Association for Re
tarded Children, which they had
attended on the U of I campus.
The term YOUTH means Youth
Organized and United To Help.
YOUTH organizations are com
posed of young people between
the ages of 13 and 25 who
are interested in helping the
mentally retarded.
Pam Berria briefly summed
up the social activities during
their workshop. Linda Berria
mentioned workshop speakers,
stating that David Sloan from
Texas is especially informative
on what teenagers are doing and
can do to help the mentally
retarded.
She also stated that one
speaker explained the “Buddy
System” which is being used
very effectively in Pocatello.
“Buddy System” means that a
trained and interested teenager
spends time with a retarded
child to help with hobbies, other
preplanned activities, or take
the child to some social activity,
thus freeing the parents for an
afternoon or evening and at the
same time helping the child to
develop potential assets.
Games and music to help the
retarded youngsters to develop
muscle coordination and gain
self confidence was topic of
Janet Iseri’s report. She men
tioned several rhythm instru
ments which can be made from
discarded household items.
Betty Iseri, president of the
‘J’ Sorority, presented a mone
tary gift of $37.20, the pro
ceeds from a silver tea, to the
association. Other members
present were Nancy Ireland and
Barbara Iseri.
Mrs. Rudolf Broderson of
Payette reported that various
members of the ‘J’ Sorority
are going to assist with a sum
mer recreation program super
vising outdoor games and acti
vities. The summer recreation
program is scheduled to begin
June 18 at the Ontario Church
of Christ.
A social hour concluded the
meeting at whichtime the mem
bers were able to get acquainted
with the advisory board. Among
board members present were
Dr. J. T. Burdic, Dr. H. Ina-
hara, Mrs. Nita Bellows and Bill
Blackaby, all of Ontario; and
Ed Campbell of Fruitland.
