      Functions, occupations and activities

      Mental Retardation Community Services Development offered counselling, support, and crisis intervention services to families of children with special needs. This office was moved as part of a larger transfer from the Ministry of Health in April 1974 and part of an expansion in order to implement the Government's new policy regarding mental retardation.

      The ultimate objective of the program was to give the disabled and their families the opportunity to choose the most appropriate facility program to meet their particular needs.
