The Teen‑Aides Health Career Course, dealing with the handicapped children, was held a t Maine East on Saturday mornings during March.

About 250 Maine Township High School students participated in these workshops. The students received training to act as helpers or sitters for the handicapped, mainly those with cerebral palsy.

The workshops provided different speakers to the students. The rehabilitation team from Lutheran

General Hospital was present at one workshop and explained how the team worked in total rehabilitation of the handicapped.

At the last session, the problems of a handicapped person in a non‑handicapped oriented society, were presented by three self‑sustaining multi‑handicapped adults.

Each student who attended three of the four sessions became a United Cerebral Palsy Teen‑Aide and each received a certificate.
