An attempt was made to replicate a study to evaluate a system used by Kuntz, et al. in 1978 to teach children with mental handicaps to read. The original study was done in a children's hospital training centre with children who had considerable communication difficulties, whereas the present study was undertaken with adults with mental handicaps in an adult training centre. In the UK, adult training centres are currently at the centre of service provision by Social Services for the instruction of adults with mental handicaps, providing both a sheltered workshop and a practical educational situation. Nine out of 33 nonreaders completed the programme so the success rate was well short of that of the original study.

scholarly journals Differences in disability between people with mental handicaps who were resettled in the community and those who remained in hospital.
