IntroductionAlmost 50 years after the mental health reform in Europe and the deinstitutionalization of the mentally ill, there seems to be a slow change in the social concept of mental disorder. However, in the case of mental retardation, little progress has been made, since the social approach to these patients does not seem to involve the promotion of their autonomy. This is a reality with implications in medical, social and forensic psychiatry settings.ObjectiveWe will present a statistical analysis on interdiction/inhabilitation processes in two districts of Portugal followed by a comparative analysis between Portuguese and other European countries’ civil law concerning the regulation of legal capacity.AimsCritical analysis of the means by which the concept of legal incapacity has been applied in the Portuguese social setting.MethodsDescriptive and retrospective analyses of 500 expert reports in the districts of Coimbra and Viseu regarding interdiction/disqualification processes.

Study Participants

This study was an attempt to compare self-concept and adjustment state of mentally retarded girls who were attending the special school (with intervention program), who are not attending the special school (without intervention program) and normal healthy girls attending regular school. The investigator hypothesized that the mentally retarded girls with an intervention program would differ socially and emotionally from the mentally retarded girls without an intervention program. For the nature of the design of the study, participants for this study were divided into three groups. With the help of purposive sampling (non-probability method), the participant girls were selected in such a manner that ten girls in each group were matched in age and severity with girls in each of the three groups. For the purpose of data collection, Piers Harris Children’s Self Concept Scale and The AML Rating Scale were used by the investigators. The findings of the study thus did confirm on the whole the assumption that mentally retarded girls with an intervention program would differ emotionally and socially from mentally retarded girls without intervention program.

The use of hands-on activity-based mathematics learning media for mentally retarded children and cerebral palsy is largely unexplored. Meanwhile, observations of children with special needs (mental retardation and cerebral palsy) at school have not shown good basic math skills, such as counting, recognizing numbers, recognizing letters, performing math operations (for example, addition and subtraction). This study aims to develop a hands-on activity-based learning media model for mentally retarded children and cerebral palsy to improve understanding of mathematics in reading, writing, and arithmetic subjects. The method used is Research and Development, where the subject is the Special School in Bandung, Indonesia. The instruments used in this study were documentation, classroom observation, interviews, and tests of mathematical comprehension abilities. The results showed that a hands-on activity-based learning model could be used to improve basic math skills in reading, writing, and arithmetic for children with mental retardation and cerebral palsy.
