DID YOU KNOW THAT...

One out of every ten people has a mentally retarded person in his her family?

There are approximately six (6) million mentally retarded people in the United States today?

Mental Retardation affects more individuals than all other Handicapped conditions combined?

One out of every thirty-three children is a probable victim?

As you can see mental retardation is not someone else's problem; it potentially affects all of us. The concern for the mentally retarded and the condition of this disability is the responsibility of the COMMUNITY AT LARGE.

The following are among the programs and services made available with your funds:

Workshops Advocacy Service
