Response to Drash, Raver, and Murrin: The Reversibility of Mental Retardation.

Menolascino, Frank J.; Stark, Jack A.

Mental Retardation, v25 n2 p71-74 Apr 1987

"Reversibility" is proposed in place of the term "total habilitation." Reversibility is described in terms of the primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention/intervention paradigm. A formula based on the paradigm is presented, together with examples of the process applied to sociocultural retardation and Down Syndrome. (KM)
