Featuring: (l to r) Melody James, Brenda Dubrowski, Ellen Jane Peterson and Renaldo Rodriguez
The Kids on the Block program on Down Syndrome (Mental Retardation) features 17 year old Ellen Jane Peterson, who has Down syndrome. Ellen Jane attends her neighborhood high school and participates in a program which allows her to work at different jobs in the afternoons. Her job coach helps her to succeed in these positions and her favorite, so far, is her current job at the Valley Animal Hospital, where she assists the veterinarian. The program was developed in conjunction with the ARC of Montgomery County (Maryland) and with the President's Committee on Employment of People with Disabilities.
The complete curriculum consists of large hand-crafted puppets,
four scripts, props,
follow-up activities and resources to teach children about mental
retardation.
