What is the difference between the treatment of mentally retarded people now and during the Great Depression?
Back then it was best to ship the kid off to a live in school for 2 reasons.1 because it was a great embaressment to the family and 2 because they was uneducated on how to care for a mental retarded person.Of course our views changed because people now know how to take care of a family member with mental retardation and most are no longer embaressed to raise a mental retarded child.
