Abstract Public Law 94 -142 dictates that treatment and educational programming for handicapped individuals be conducted in the least restrictive environment. For the past two -year period, pressures from several governmental agencies (e.g.) the Texas Education Agency, the Texas Department of Mental Health and Mental Retardation, etc.) have cussed Texas institutions for the mentally retarded to take measures to deinstitutionalize and move back to home communities sizeable numbers of institutionalized individuals. For borderline and mildly mentally retarded, such deinstitutioualization and movement have been relatively successful. However, for the more severely involved resident, such relative success has not been evident. This proposal, if funded, will allow the public library to purchase 16mm films and audio - visual materials appropriate for the Corpus Christi State School to use in reaching those more Beverly involved residents by assisting this target population to acquire those independent living and community coping skills necessary for return to homes and communities. Specific needs, objectives and evaluation procedures will follow in portions of this project narrative description. As to national or statewide significance of this project, all institutions and community agencies involved in programs for the developmentally dis- abled could profit from information and data gathered during and at termination of this project period. II. Needs Assessment The Corpus Christi State School has near 300 residents/ clients showing need for expanded programming in the curriculum areas of independent living and community coping. However, the public library does not have specific materials suitable for use with mentally retarded individuals of the community. Too, it is assumed that the Nueces County MR/MR Community Center and local independent school districts also are concerned with meeting the needs of like students/ clients being served by their programs. Therefore, it is likely that these requested expanded services by the involvement of other social services organizations could have far reaching effects for the developmentally disabled of Corpus Christi, Nueces County and South Texas. III. Goals and Objectives Major Goal To purchase, utilize and test effectiveosss of the selected library films and audio - visual resource materials for a target population of 300 Corpus Christi State School severly and moderately mentally retarded adolescents and adults. Films and resource materials will be selected for teaching in the areas of independent living and community coping skills. Major Objectives 1. Public Library purchase of $5,000 to $7,000 of films and audio-visual materials designed to reach the severely and moderately mentally retarded for areas of independent living and community coping. 2. To check out from the library these films and materials to the Corpus Christi State School for effective utilization with their 300 residents /clients during the project period. 3. To check out from the library these films and materials to others in the community who could also utilize them. 4. To maintain a count of the number of circulations and number of users during the project period. 5. To effectively evaluate impact of these materials on both residents /clients served and as well on involved program staff. IV. Institutional Participation 1. The Corpus Christi State School was involved in the planning of this project. Larry Corder of the State School met with Edward Whittaker, Guadalupe Mier, and Gloria Garcia of La Retama Public Library to present the project proposal and discuss service needs. 2. Corpus Christi State School will select the materials to be purchased, and La Retama Public Library will order and process these materials. All materials purchased with the grant funds are to be housed at the public library - 16mm films at La Retama Library and the other audio - visual materials at Greenwood Branch Library. All materials are to be made available for check out and use by the Corpus Christi State School and other individuals in the community needing such materials. The public library will keep circulation records of all materials checked out and the Corpus Christi State School w•11 keep records as to the number of showings or uses of an item checked out to it and the number of individuals viewing or using such items. (Statistics will be turned in monthly to the library liason person). Evalauation of the impact and effectiveness of the materials on both residents /clients served and on the school's program staff involved will be provided in a narrative form by the Corpus Christi State School to the library liaison person according to the schedule established by the Texas State Library for reporting. As with all materials checked out by the public library, the Corpus Christi State School is responsible for any damages or loss of materials loaned to it. 3. Ms. Elda Mendez, Resource Specialist for the Corpus Christi State School, is designated as liaison person. Mr. Guadalupe Mier, Head of Branch Services for La Retama Public Library, is designated as liaison person. V. Programming and Materials: Corpus Christi State School 1. Project activities are to provide appropriate 16mm films and audio - visual materials aimed at teaching independent living and community coping skills to approximately 300 severely pad moderately mentally retarded adolescents and adults. Since most residents /clients within this target population are un- responsive to purely academic learning strategies, it becomes necessary to try another approach; in this case through the utilization of appropriate audio - visual methodologies. 2. Other educational and vocational methods designed to meet independent living and community coping needs are on -going at this institution, i.e. field trips, vocational counseling, home and community training classes, etc.... 3. This alternative was selected quite simply to expand on -going services in described curriculum areas. It is felt that the target population, as previously discussed, will more favorably respond to an audio - visual approach. 4. Materials will be "made available" by the public library and will be inserted by the Corpus Christi State School into already existing teaching programs in an effort to make them more meaningful to targeted client group. 5. Residents /clients will be working with materials when their functioning level is sufficiently high to manipulate necessary equipment. When this is not so, teachers and trainers will be available and will conduct training sessions.. 6. Involved staff at the Corpus Christi State School will receive in- service training as to the availability and proper utiliza- tion and of such materials. 7. Evidence indicates that the target group responds more favorably to audio - visual teaching strategies than to the more traditional purely academic.Data from this project will then supply such evidence after several months running. 8. Most problems of note have been discussed and generally appear to be logistical in nature. Both involved agencies agree that none are worthy of great concern. i 9. The materials to be purchased do not include basic reference collections, or professionally necessary books, supplies, and journals for library staff. VI. Delivery Systems Described library films and resource materials will be utilized by the Corpus Christi State School as follows: 1. Eligible residents /clients will be transported to the local public library for services. 2. Services will be delivered within the institution on a regular basis. 3. Services will be delivered to a fixed institutional location and to more remote out -lying community programs on a regular basis. VII. Staff and Training 1. Corpus Christi State School's Resource Specialist will serve as liaison with public library in all matters concerning this project. La Retama Public Library's Head of Branch Services will be the Project Director for the library and will serve as liaison with the Corpus Christi State School in all matters concerning this project. 2. Institutional personnel will be given in- service training by the Corpus Christi State School as to the utilization of films and resource materials. 3. Roles and responsibilities, and reporting procedures have been• outlined and agreed upon by participating agencies. 4. Appropriate training for involved staff will be provided by Corpus Christi State School at no cost to this project. VIII. Budget 1. Request Budget forms are included with this application. 2. The entire amount requested will be needed at the beginning of the grant on .Tune 1, 1977 for purchase of the materials and reimbursement of indirect costs. I%. Evaluation 1. Project evaluation will occur in the following ways: ... Project workload measures - number of circulations and number of users ... Measure of residents /clients success when placed in the home and community ... Studies as to institutional staff attitudes toward project impact. 2. Internal evaluation of the project will be utilized. 3. Process evaluation of the institutional staff involved will be records in the narrative section of the reports to the state library. 4. Statistics of circulation and users will be kept. R. Timetable June 1, 1977 - August 31, 1977 = Select, order, and process materials.
