Section for Exceptional Children Curriculum Guide for Trainable Mentally Retarded Children 1973-74, Third Reprint.
South Dakota State Div. of Elementary and Secondary Education, Pierre. Section for Exceptional Children.
The curriculum guide for use with trainable mentally handicapped children is organized by five levels of difficulty and the following categories: social adjustment, economic usefulness (science and math), communication skills, cultural appreciation (art, music, and literature), prevocational skills, and movement behavior. Listed for each level and category are aims or objectives, one or more pupil activities, outcome or demonstration of a specific competency, and needed materials. Examples of activities for communications-receptive training are smelling and tasting different foods at Level I to composing and writing brief personal messages at Level IV. Among social adjustment activities are washing and drying hands with assistance at Level I and making a budget at Level IV. Also provided are upgraded activities for music and art, a list of appropriate records, addresses of sources of instructional materials, illustrations and recipes for art activities, and a listing of stories and records for literature. Activities given for development of prevocational skills vary from dusting at Level I to washing own socks and underwear at Level III. Movement activities include imitating movement of worms and snakes (Level I) and roller skating (Level IV). (DB)
