Construction on a $375,000 children's rehabilitation center for cerebral palsy and allied disorders at the University Medical Center is expected to begin before July 1.
A fund raising campaign started by the 40 & 8 society of Kansas and the Kansas Society for Crippled Children has reached the point where definite building plans have been made.
With $130,000 obtained by voluntary contributions, an application has been made by the fund's board of trustees for an equal amount of federal funds under the Hill-Burton Act for hospital construction. An architect has been hired to draw up preliminary plans, and the Kansas Board of Regents has approved use of land near the Medical Center for the children's center.
Preliminary plans call for a two-story brick structure with dormitory facilities of 20 beds. Other rooms would be used for conferences, consultation, and classrooms
It is expected that 40 children could be handled in a day school program at the center. The University crippled children training program would be concentrated at the center. It would also include training for children with speech, hearing, and eye defects.
There would be training courses for parents, and facilities for research and post graduate courses leading to degrees in the Graduate School. All activities would be under one director.
"The greatest benefit will be in our ability to train teachers and technicians for exceptional children," said W. Clarke Wescoe, dean of the Medical School. "While state funds are available for instructing exceptional children, there is an extreme shortage of teachers. Those who study at the center will be able to carry on the work in the home communities of Kansas."
