There are many examples of such activity across the state. A nine-year old mentally retarded re-tarded boy who had been placed in a rest home primarily for mentally retarded adults was moved to a foster home where the stimulation afforded by the family atmosphere has caused him to begin to speak, to not be so frustrated, and to accept discipline dis-cipline like any child. In Provo, a mentally retarded young man who was already employed, em-ployed, expressed to desire to obtain more schooling. He consequently con-sequently began studying basic reading and writing skills three nights a week in the community school program.
