- This film discusses the role of the public health nurse in relation to the retarded child and his family. This objective is achieved with the aid of clinical subjects, personnel from a clinic for retarded individuals, and public health nurses. Miss Roberts, a public health nurse, becomes aware of a retarded child, Mark, during a routine home visit for an eye check on Mark's older brother. Mark's mother describes him as "slow," and the program discusses simple methods to use in assessing a child's abilities at an early age. Several retarded children are shown at different age levels, performing simple tasks to demonstrate the effectiveness and value of such learning experiences to the child and his/her family. The program then focuses on Miss Roberts' efforts to secure help for Mark. She discusses Mark's case with his family physician and a referral is secured for an evaluation. Scenes are shown of Mark's interview with the psychologist, child development specialist, physical therapist, occupational therapist, social worker, and physician. The role of each member is discussed. During the staff meeting in which Mark's case is discussed, the nurse is present to contribute her knowledge of Mark and the family, and is given suggestions to assist her in her handling of the case. In Mark's case, Miss Roberts decided to focus on helping Mark to dress himself. She teaches the mother, who in turn will teach the child. The program stresses the three R's: repetition, relaxation and routine, and demonstrates how to apply these to the child's learning process. The role of the institution for a child who must be hospitalized and the role of the nurse in helping the family adjust to this decision are also discussed.

I think not everyone understands that this film and others like it were not representing how things always actually were, but how the Departments of Health and other organizations thought they should be. They're meant to be instructional, and to show how much better things could be.
very well put..at the time, a lot of medical encyclopedias advised just giving the child to permenant care of a state hospital. My younger brother was delyaed,and i can't imagine doing that to him.

As mom of a 36 year old developmentally disabled man, I can say these little milestones are celebrated daily. He is now an adult who works a productive job in a grocery store that he loves, and they love him. He has friends and family that support him. He's witty and fun, loves justice and stands up for others. He doesn't take his disability too seriously. But it's a daily fight to get services from schools and staff who really care. YOU must be their advocate and educate yourself early on so you can be their social worker, teacher, case manager etc...
Excellent❤❤❤.
I've been watching tons of these old videos and some of them are so crazy lol I agree with the person above, this is sugar coated from what lots of families used to do.
Oh i know...I remember reading from a medical encyclepedia from that era and it recommended putting the child away in an institution and 'forgetting about it'. My brother has Asperger's Syndrome..I can't fathom putting him away.
proud2bpagan I have worked with several formerly institutionalized people with mental disabilities. It's so so sad to see the behaviours they have due to the awful treatment they received.
haitipi It's called Down's Syndrome. Your terminology is outdated by about 60 years. Rather strange that you attempt to educate on one form of intellectual disability while using a disparaging term for another.
so you watch tons of videos that you consider to be crazy, yet you continue to watch them, what benefit are your critisims to anyone?
because maybe, its good to learn from what did not work! and some of them are "fun" crazy, not picking on people. its good to see how far we;ve come...and how far we still need to go!!!!!
I like to think most families treated their special children this way, but it didn't happen. So many of those kids were sent to institutions and abandoned. The infamous Willowbrook State School didn't close until 1987, so it was common to do this until fairly recently. I teach high school kids with special needs, and they're so full of love. This video made me feel pretty sad, thinking how many loving kids have been sent away by their families.
Unfortunately
Yes it wasn’t “socially acceptable” - I’m so glad things have changed & most families keep their children at home & maybe they go to a day program….. I couldn’t imagine leaving my child in an institution.. A lot of the families just went on as usual…. The children have feelings too & the families never came back - imagine how broken their little hearts were. Willowbrook from what I saw on the videos was absolutely horrible conditions…. They couldn’t get funds, they couldn’t keep workers. I’m sure a lot of abuse happened. It makes me sad just thinking about it.
I have the utmost respect for what you do, thank you
@@valeriespeed4112my 31 year old nonverbal autistic son Mikey who is also developmentally disabled is going to be with me till I can’t care for him anymore or I die I’ve worked with agencies and I know how bad the abuse and neglect can get when they are literally dumped on the agency doorstep.He goes to the day program 7 hours a day 5 days a week it’s a welcome and needed break for the both of us and he is making friends so he is very happy as am I cause I can get a couple of hours rest and then go back to work on my house
So cool to see OT mentioned in a video from 1960!
This seems pretty advanced, knowledgeable, and sensitive for 1960.
Because you believed the propaganda that everyone was evil before the hippies.
It wasn't the Stone Age. We landed on the moon in that decade. 😝
@Blankz ..and that's why ur on it.
@Blankz Not autistic. Just plain evil.
Hahahhaah
I've been watching too much of these vintage videos lmao
Ok but little Mark trying to blow to torch out like like a candle was very cute.
I can't imagine the psychological effects of taking a child from their home and putting them in an institution =(
Sometimes it’s not that bad tho , depends on where u live really .. SC was horrible but North Florida was nice and kind ppl and more recourses .
Many were never taken home from the hospital. It was considered the moral and socially responsible thing to institutionalize the “defective” as soon as possible, especially so as not to overburden the mother!
No, but you can see the effects of not having them in institutions today, most the homeless people today suffer serious mental health issues...I can't see how living in a box with no shoes starving is any better.
I DID TWO ONE HALF YEARS OF HARD STATE HOSPITAL TIME MY MOTHER NEVER WANTED ME SHE KILLED MY LOVE FOR HER MANY YEARS AGO I NOW KNOW WHAT BEING UNWANTED
Think of the psychological effects of leaving the child in a home where they aren’t wanted, they aren’t encouraged to advance or learn, the father is a drunk, the mom is a drug addict, and the child is ignored, not fed nor bathed, and sits in filth.
Love the older raw videos, they had nothing to hide or fake. Thank you, enjoying every video.💜
sure they do, don't be so naive
I was a caregiver, as my first real job. I assisted with daily living for folks who are now in homes in the community, fresh out of institutions. I loved that job. My first client was a woman who was the age I currently am, 42. She had just moved out of the institution where she had been since age 5. I loved her so much. She was not an easy client by any means, labled a "behavior case." She was alway "having behaviors." I absolutely hated the terminology used. Everything we do or dont do is a behavior, for example. She was taken from her family by force after injuring a younger sibling, she flipped the craddle over, with the newborn inside. They took the baby to the hospital. Thankfully the baby was fine but of course the hospital had questions. When they encountered the person who became my client, they insisted there was no other choices but an institution. Her family was very poor and was from, what was then, an extremely rural, mountainous Appalachian community. Because of lawsuits due to abuse and neglect, our state institutions all closed down. That was good for so many patients but not all. My client always want to "go home," back to the institution. Thats all she had known since age 5. I would call her mother on the phone and update her from time to time. She always cried and never stopped missing her "baby" and wanting her home. By then mother was elderly, in bad health and certainly could not have cared for her daughter when she was having violent behavioral issues. I always felt so bad for them both. She never wanted to be separated from her child and her child no longer recognized family relationship, if she ever had. She had been born fine and the problem developed when she started school and got her required immunizations, according to her records. I taught her to tie her shoes when she was 42 years old. One of my favorite memories. I knew people of the years who worked with her. So even after I left that job, 3 years later, I was still able to check on her. She died about 6 years ago. It broke my heart. Her mother had been long gone by then. I hope theyre finally reuinited now. Sorry, i wrote a novel there. This brought back a lot of memories.
@@Rainbowclaw what?
How do millions and millions of people get vaccinations during childhood, which has wiped out, or lessened so many horrible nasty diseases, yet a few are left with mental problems, like the person you knew? How would you explain that? I think I would rather take my chance on the vax. Ever seen pictures of people from many years ago with small pox? It ain't pretty!
Don’t be fooled as this film does not show what the norm was for this time because most kids born disabled were institutionalized until the late 70s or early 80s when they slowly started fading them out. However, my grandmother had a sister who was mildly intellectually disabled born in 1948 and was kept at home. In her elementary years she was homeschooled by a special teacher that came to the house and in high school she actually went to a regular school with a special class. She ended up moving to a group home when she got older and worked as a seamstress until she died in 2012.
Good for her and your family! Unfortunately the last institution in Canada did not close until 2009
Your great aunt was very lucky and I’m glad she lived a fulfilling life. My great uncle born in 1952 had Down syndrome and was kept at home until he was 15. He went to a special school (which were very few and far between in those days). Unfortunately, when he hit puberty he became very violent and lost some of the skills he learned, so my great grandparents had no choice but to institutionalize him. Luckily, he was still visited by his family and the institution treated him fairly well. Sometime in the 80s he got moved to a group home and passed away in 2004 but I guess he lived an ok life considering the time period when he was born.
You know, until i watched this video i never really thought about how difficult buttons and socks would be for someone with disabilities. Wouldnt something with bigger buttons be easier? Also, did anyone else have a very real urge to clap when little Mark managed his own britches?
iam glad that this story had a happy ending i have a disability too and i had to go to a school for a while they treated me great there i hated public school because they were assholes maybe iam bitter but i hope other people like me have a better time then i had
❤
💕💕
GOD BLESS U
👍
The Lil boy Mark is so adorable.
does anyone else think a few of these kids might have been misdiagnosed? a few of them didnt have the typical look
I used to work in a home where the very young children were all invalids and I thought it was sad that very few parents came to visit their children. I’ve worked a lot with young kids who have various issues because it’s rewarding. I loved the end of this when the boy was able to dress himself (for the most part).
😔
Thank you for having a kind heart
Its not being like an invilet & incontinence that bothers me. But its the depresion & abuse that bothers me
I am actually impressed. I thought things were quite a lot worse than this at the time this represented.
it was
This is sugar coating, things were a lot worse! Yes some state workers would help you keep them at home and educate them, but it was more common for them to suggest and encourage giving up your child to an institution, yes in the ear,y days the institution would actually educate and train folks for jobs and such, but by the late 50s they started getting over crowded and budget cuts and cuts to resources and man power,...it was a down Ward spiral
Think about what our adds are like coca cola isnt good for you but it might be considered fantastic for health and everything
Be assured they were much worse!
Its a video on how to show compassion. Its a reason they felt the need to make this.
my parents were violently opposed to the idea
that one son was mentally ill and the other son is simple minded.
so by the time my needs were there...school knew-dont offer
Damn have a little faith in your kid
Unfortunately many doctors back then painted a dim view of what the child would be able to do and even advised parents to put the child away in an institution right away. This film is pretty advanced for the time.
They have more faith in drs ... still do too 😕
Thank God we have come a long way since the old days !!!!!
We have a long way to go...
LOVE that I just typed in “Retarded” in the search bar and the FIRST THING that pops up is “The University of Oklahoma” 😂😂😂😂😂😂 #gopokes
I typed in "TacoMan14798"
I was looking the Appalachian mountains and this was second ?! Lol
These old videos just pop up in my CZcams because they were new when I first watched them. 🤣
@@JohnnyProductionsOfficialTM Found the Gooner 👀
geeze how do I delete that comment on an Ipad
Well done. 🏆!
Infants and toddlers can't tell you the alphabet or do math problems. This video is pretty accurate on how we assess infants and toddlers today by doing a neuro checks and see if they hit their developmental milestones on time. Even if that is hampered at first, and the child doesn't have a genetic disability, he can overcome the lagging milestone. He may be hard of hearing, a preemie, have tight muscled or tendons, eyesight problems. all kinds of stuff. So really, except by putting him in a home, and using politically incorrect wording, this is kinda how it goes. Although sometimes the mental impairment isn't seen even nowadays until as a toddler or kindergarten.
The title sounds like a summary of every Julia Roberts RomCom
Lmfaooo
Do we still have nurses like this?
They are a rare breed
I'm glad huge institutions for people like this have mostly closed. Most public schools now offer classes for intellectually disabled kids, and most live with family and go to a group home as adults. It's a lot more humane now
It's amazing how far things like this have come. Even kids in 100% custodial care now are treated so much better than kids in that situation 40 + years ago.
Guys history is history deal with it.
They say this video is the early 1960s. I say it really is the early 1950's.
Agreed.
it's 1960
I wonder what ever became of these kids.
One of them became the president, I think
@@ckcox9244 that's no way to call obama
They're probably commenting on youtube videos
Chris Cox Obama was not retarded, he went to Harvard
Silver Rain yep, those look like 60’s babies! I just have to wonder what’s happened to our healthcare that they don’t do home visits any more. Seems it would be less expensive to service patients that way, no overhead.
Really good actually.
why are you on here if youre going to be critical??
@ why are you an asian if you're going to be sexist
nice
They were forgotten

Pls remake this video but have Borat say that word every time it comes up...that one word...
The doctors told moms to forget about their kids and put in an institution
😊 god bless him.
🙏
Wow I don’t know what I just watched (nods in silence)
Propaganda film.
@@mr.scoggins fr bruh, how is this propaganda?
God, that title tho
I will there is no more retarded word I got so many times
Gods favorite kids
@Juno Donat ...really?? All gods are human creatures??? Moron
I agree ! Very special !
@@deannasoriano2771 I think u miss read his comment .. he didn’t say they were gods only children , only his favorites .They are the most innocent and pure .
Back in the mid 60s i had a younger sibling who was 7, i was 9 he had a mental age of 1 and mom had him in cloth diapets and rubber pants. Plus she had him in a playpen. I wet the bed later on it was due ro a medical issue but the Dr. Said i was lazy. His wife a nurse then took off all my clothes and she pinned me up in t😢hick diapers and 😢rubber pants. Then ca🎉r🎉r😅ied me to the waiting room and other women said look at the b8ig bab😮y patting my bottom. Mom had m🎉e playing outside wi😢th m😮y b8rorher in just our d😅iapers like 2 babies. She kept me in diapers u😅p until age 13. My brothe😢r was still in them. He later passed away sadly.
So happy we've evolved from some of these views
There were no right to an education for the kids
By themselfs. I love incontineces ward in nursing homes & even locked wards. But I prefer woman over men as caretakers. But much more loving care. Less psychatric meds & less depression.
Sophia Maria age 30 I m mentally challenged woman! But I believe that only God help us do all things but only though Christ strengthening us to do them !
A bit long? Cool but after about 11mins.....
According to the video…. Retarded children often have a shorter attention span than normal children.

Hey Siri, Define cretinism.
This is a formal offensive term to describe foolishness or stupidity.
It is actually mental retardation among other symptoms caused by a thyroid problem
A lot of words used back then (dumb, crippled, retarded, idiot, imbecile, etc) were actual medical terms. It was the taunting and bullying that included these words that began identifying them as defamatory terms. It's not the terms that are bad words. It's the people who used them as a way to poke fun of people afflicted with issues OR calling "typical" people these words as put-downs, that turned them into bad words. Any innocent-sounding word today can be turned into an offensive term or word if it is used the wrong way.
For example: do you think anyone will name their child "Karen" beyond this date? It has gone from an average girl's pretty name, to meaning "snobbish nosy whistleblowing bigot". And by the way, this is hurtful to people who are named "Karen", just because someone picked a random name out of the air, and it stuck. You don't have to check. My name isn't Karen. 🙂
Yes that’s very true and I feel bad for the actual nice people that just happen to be named Karen lol
there is another definition for it
that not what happened at all they would tell the family to put the child in a home and walk away. the is bs. that is not what happened at all
My brother has Asperger's Syndrome..I can't fathom putting him in a home and just walking away.
Evelyon Byrd They may have recommended it, but many families took their baby home anyway. I had a step aunt born in this era with Down syndrome. She was raised like any other kid for the time. The majority of parents did not just drop their kid and run.
Evelyon Byrd right on!!! They sure did!!! I couldn't have ever done that!!
lol No, no they didn't just tell families to put the child in a home. Where on earth do you all get your information?
+shananagans5 Yes, yes, they did. Where do I get my information? One of my first boyfriends had a much older sister who was born about this time (she was the first child and he was a very late life baby.) She had Down's, and the doctors told them to put her in a home because it was best for her. They did what was recommended. Granted, it was private and the very best they could find -- my boyfriend groused because they couldn't spare anything for his college because his sister's home cost so much -- and his mom went several times a week to see her. Still, it was a home.
I would say. the classic films I see. The woman was a lot more fenimen.
I say in general woman were a lot more beautiful than in general
You're saying "women were a lot more feminine in classic films"?
Nah they're presidential like Joe Biden
Yeah everything has to be political with you terrorists to the usa
Can't execute them....
OH MY GOD- CHANGE THE TITLE OF THE VIDEO PLEAASE-
no.. leave it, it's funny
@@MrUranium238 The r-word is a slur, like using the n-word, but less extreme. I should know, I'm black and my little cousin with autism is called the r-word by his peers all the time. it's not funny nor okay.
@@xoxo2752 ok, I'll give you credit for that and mean no offence, however from a self-depreciating and historical perspective it’s comical, like a Shakespearean play on social life ... but in the end ...your right
Stop trying to change history. You DO know what the word "retarded" actually means right? It was a word that became ugly over time.
That’s the actual title. No.

JESUS is coming again SOON! HALLELUJAH!
why do I keep finding your comments on these videos?
100 years ago someone like you said the same thing. Every one wants God to come in their lifetimes...for hundreds of years people have been waiting...
Hope he brings beer because this year is $#!t
Yeah..ok 😂😂😂
Yeah ok my grandfather has been saying the same thing since 1990 and we’re still waiting. 😂
I hated when the narrator said retarded! We say special needs or intelleuctal disability or developmental disability or Down Syndrome.
Ashley Jacobson This was the 1960s. The word retarded was just the word for disability. Now it's offensive because people used that word as an insult.
The word carries negative connotations today, because it has long been used as an insult. In reality, it is an adoquit term.
Retarded: To cause to move or proceed slowly; delay or impede. v .intr. To be delayed.
Yeah I know, it's kind of shocking to hear in 2017, but it wasn't an offensive term in 1960. Retarded was a clinical word, used to describe any individual with a disorder that manifested with mental delay. However, as noted by people above, the word started to be used in insulting and derogatory contexts, so it started to acquire a different meaning. This is the case with many words in the English language; the semantics of a word change in response to societal changes. Think of a word like bitch - it used to just mean 'female dog'. It's interesting how quickly it can change.
it means the same thing. it just sounds better to you is all
Bro it was like the 1950s that was the appropriate terms back then!
