Abstract	The book highlights 30 effective service programs for mentally retarded persons. The first section presents information on eight family oriented programs serving high risk, Down's syndrome, urban poor, and profoundly handicapped children. Included are descriptions of parent education, support, and advocacy programs. Among seven public school education programs summarized include a preschool program in which normal children are integrated, a merger between a special school and a regular one, a community centered program for hearing impaired retarded teenagers, and continuing education courses on college campuses. Among the five community residence programs represented are the Eastern Nebraska Community Office of Retardation, the Macomb-Oakland Regional Center (Michigan), and the Tuolumne County Independent Living Project (a rural California program). Three descriptions of effective vocational programs are followed by two self assertion projects. Two programs serving mentally retarded offenders and two serving mentally ill/mentally retarded persons are reviewed. Final sections touch on prevention and future issues (including consumer advocacy systems, special-regular teacher relationships, and local community responsibility). (CL)
