Mental Health - Mental Retardation - Development Disabilities Project Files
Scope and Contents
This series contains the case files of projects temporarily funded under Public Law 91-517 to begin the training and care of children and adults with developmental disabilities. These disabilities include mental retardation, epilepsy, hearing impairment, cerebral palsy, and others. Before the departmental reorganization of 1972, the administration of these funds and the approval of projects was performed by the Mental Health Division of the Department of Public Health. The projects provided consultation, housing, recreation, and education to specific clienteles. Each case file consists of a narrative application and proposed budget, correspondence, and contracts.
