(Critical) This program is a well-illustrated case study of a young man who is mentally retarded as a result of complications at birth. It details the step-by-step progression of a severly handicapped person toward independent functioning. Documentation of years of the patient's development and his participation in various educational and rehabilitation programs suggest thorough advance planning of this production. The condition's etiology, the mother's determination to secure a place for her son in society and the role of normal intellectual capabilities in overcoming physical handicaps are discussed. The program is well-designed and of good technical quality, but its objectives are not specified and its purpose is obscure. It is recommended with some reservations for use
