Seventy-nine physically handicapped, mentally retarded school children were screened with impedance audiometry, followed by otoscopy performed by an otolaryngologist. These procedures provide a method for the identification of possible communicatively handicapping middle-ear abnormalities in a difficult-to-test school population. Results indicated that the presence of middle-ear abnormalities increased as the degree of retardation increased and age decreased. Furthermore, as the degree of physical involvement increased, the presence of suspected middle-ear pathology increased.

Mentally Retarded Children

In six illustrated booklets Cornelia Hollander has set forth a rationale and directions for an arts and crafts program for handicapped children. The first booklet describes how a group of parents and teachers of mentally retarded children organized a workshop to teach "uncreative adults" skills that they in turn could teach their handicapped children." The succeeding booklets deal, respectively, with finger painting and simple print making, drawing and painting, clay and other dimensional media, stitchery, and woodworking and odds and ends.

exhibit various deviations from normal growth patterns. Anthropometry is a valuable method of studying these physically handicapped children. The December 1969 issue of Pediatrics (44:973) published my paper called "Objective Measurement of Interpupillary Distance. Objective Measurement of Interpupillary Distance." Following this a general interest in the subject has prompted a number of doctors to ask where they can buy sliding and spreading calipers to do the measurements described and also other head and face measurements.
