Peterson School needs volunteers Volunteers are needed to assist with programs at the Dan W. Peterson School in American Fork. The school, a special school in the Alpine School District for handicapped han-dicapped students, provides free and appropriate education to handicapped han-dicapped young people ages five through 21 from throughout the school district. David P. Adamson, principal, noted there are about 125 students enrolled in the school this year. All have varying degrees of handicaps including mental, physical or other types of disorders. Some of these youngsters can achieve levels of performance which will allow them to enter the main stream of regular school classes later. Dr. Adamson said. "Part of our overall plan is to see that each student actually accomplishes ac-complishes his or her potential," he commented. Mr Adamson said under the law there can be no more than six students to one adult (volunteer or teacher) and in some cases three students to one adult is better. Volunteers, he said, are an "integral part" in accomplishing ttiese ratios. The students at the school require a great deal of close supervision and intervention to promote growth, according to Dr. Adamson. In addition to classroom studies there are many activities which stimulate and teach the students, including the use of computers. Special devices allow the han dicapped to use the computers and other teaching machines at their own pace. Dr. Adamson commented. com-mented. "It is unbelievable what they are able to do." he said.

These in elude training for the Special Olympics events as well as swimming swim-ming at the Orem Recreation Center on Fridays from 12:45 to 2 p.m. Volunteers, who need not be expert ex-pert swimmers, are needed to help the students while in the water. There may be two sessions of swimming in the near future, Ms. Ogden noted, saying, "A large number of volunteers can be used" Housing starts are up Utah County and its communities authorized 740 new housing units during the first six months of 1984, a 37 percent increase over the same period in 1983. reports the Bureau of Economic and Business Research at the University of Utah. However, the value of all new construction in the county - including in-cluding home building, nonresidential non-residential projects and remodeling - was down 9.9 percent compared to the first six months of last year. In home building, the biggest increases came in Provo, which granted permits for 317 new units between January and June; Orem, which authorized 217 new units, and American Fork, which granted 35 new home permits. The figures appeared ta signal continuation . of a Utah housing recovery that began in 1983. However, the BEBR says home building slowed in April, May and June as mortgage interest rates began rising. The BEBR also reported that for the first time since construction records have been kept, the number of apartment and condominium units being built in Utah is outpacing out-pacing the number of single family homes. The move to apartments and condominiums, especially in Salt Lake County, has been a long-term trend that now appears to be taking hold in Utah, say BEBR analysts. In 1977, multi-family units made up 18 percent of new housing. By 1983, the figure was 35.7 percent.
