Course gives students a perspective on mental and physical disabilities
By Sarah Davis
Korean staff writer
Stephanie Young enrolled in a course that opened her eyes.
Young, St. Louis senior, is one of about 25 students in Adult Developmental Disabilities, a course that works with mentally and physically disabled people in the Lawrence area.
"I've always thought that mentally handicapped and retarded people were so different," she said "After working with them, you realize they're just like you. I've got rid of the stigma."
John Throne, courtesy professor of human development,
said students were in a position to teach disabled
David Fishman, Prairie Village senior, who is also in the class, agreed.
"I was so scared of retarded people before this course," he said. "It's completely opened my eyes."
The whole point of this class is that there are things that can be done, should be done and need to be done.
Throne also said it was important for college students to understand that disabled people were normal and had the ability to learn.
"These people are just like anyone else," he said.
"They can be emotional, fun filled, difficult, shy. I want students to learn that."
Throne said people with mental disabilities were normal except that they learned at a slower rate.
"It itdoesn't mean that you're not capable of learning," he said. "It just means that it will take longer."
The class divides into pairs of students who work with a mentally retarded erson toward the completion of a list of six objectives.
Rolin Steiner, Chicago senior, who is working with Young to teach their 27-year-old client how to balance a $30,000 loan.
"I've never had the opportunity to work with these kind of people," she said. "It's a great learning experience."
The students meet with their clients once a week. The goal for the clients is to speak, read and write their first names, last names, telephone numbers, addresses, birthdays and ages.
Students found working with the mentally retarded people was a learning experience.
of people," she said. "It's a great learning experience." The students not only work on the list of six objectives, but also have time for fun. They enjoy such activities as bowling, video games and going out for ice cream.
"I'm seeing that they're people too, and they can grow and benefit from this," said Angie Logan, Overland Park junior, who works with a 42-year-old woman. "It is rewarding."
