Editor, The Jewish News:
I would like to take this oppor-
tunity to commend Charlotte Du-
bin for her article on the program
for the retarded at the Jewish Cen-
ter which was printed in your Feb.
13 issue.
In the main, this is a very excel-
lent article which covers many of
the program needs of the retarded
both in and out of institutions.
I must take exception, however,
to one or two matters. In the ar-
ticle, Mrs. Dubin quotes one
mother to the effect that "accord-
ing to a new law, however, parents
must pay for 15 years of hospital
care, or until the child is 21 - . .
Since this law came into effect,
institutions rarely t a k e someone
over 21."
The implication here, of course,
is that the individual over 21 is
kept out of institutions by the de-
partment of mental health solely
because of the fact that the state
would receive no reimbursement
for his care.
This, of course, is completely
untrue.. Admission to a state in-
stitution is determined solely on
the basis of the needs of the re-
tarded individual and of his family
for the particular programs which
can be most appropriately provid-
ed in institutional settings. Finan-
cial factors are never considered
to be significant in making the de-
cision as to whether or not a par-
ticular individual should receive
institutional care.
ceive a program which is best for
him throughout his life span, we
must begin to develop much larger
capabilities for providing commu-
nity placement of all sorts for
those who need it. These homes
may be either ; family care homes
or. they may 'be small residential
facilities. .
In either case, there are many
retarded individuals for whom
such community placements are
far superior than placement in an
institution the size of Plymouth
State Home.
As a matter of fact, one of the
goals of the Wayne County Inter-
agency Committee and other plan-
ning groups is to provide a much
larger community capability of
providing residential facilities of
I various- types and to assure that
the various supportive services
which are required — recreation,
job training, sheltered workshops,
etc. are also developed.
The development of small resi-
dential facilities is beginning to
expand rapidly throughout the
country and unquestionably must
continue to do so if the goals of
a total plan for the continuum of
care are to be achieved.
Emphasis here should certainly
be placed on the word "small"
since large institutions which at-
tempt to provide the entire gamut
of services needed by the retarded
in the residential facility not only
deplorably tend to segregate the re-
tarded from the rest of the com-
