Description
Résumé:The program of religious education at the Kansas Neurological Institute drew its life from the children, adolescents and adults with mental retardation as they decorated the chapel and were involved in the simple, concrete, and repetitive services. In addition, the adolescents initiated service through singing in community nursing homes, mentoring younger children, and worship. Religious education is done on a case-by-case basis, since students are at such varied skill levels. In doing this, it has remained flexible, helping blind students to become acquainted enough with the chapel and material to feel comfortable.
