Abstract:
This speech assessed progress made in rehabilitation and assistive technologies designed to prepare Americans with mental retardation for independent living. During the late 1970s and 1980s, mental health became a concern of the U.S. Surgeon General and other public health officials in the United States, who proposed that the methods of public health, in particular epidemiological study, could be applied to mental health as well.
