A8 CASTLEGAR NEWS, May 24, 1983 Expectation important “OLDS, ALTA + (CP) — The height of plays * aud more than a co fi It's ing the an important role in teaching mentally retarded ‘students, says Roberta Groff, principal of the Horizon School of Olds. “The more you expect the more they give," said Groff in an interview as the end of the school year nears. “I think expectation is a reaily. impor- tant part of our philosophy.” She tries to treat the 70 mentally handicapped stu- dents at her school 76 kilo- metres north of Calgary as individuals — deserving as’ much dignity and respect as anyone else. Groff remembers a six- year-old girl who came to the school with an intelligence quotiant that was measured at 30, less than a third of what is considered normal. The girl did not talk, only screamed. The girl is now 18 and in grade 6 classes at the regular elementary school next to the Horizon School. The build- ings are attached by a hall- way. TWO-WAY STREET Groff said they are at- tached in other ways too. Mentally handicapped stu- dents attend classes at Olds Elementary School, and many of the 660 pupils there take courses at the Horizon School. The success of the Horizon teaching principle can be measured in the relationship between the students of the two schools, “I think at this point stu- dents are integrated inevery grade and every subject we offer at the elementary school,” says principal Ralph Levinson, who is also presi- dent of the Mountain View ASsociation for the Mentally Handicapped. “Our students are aware of the strength and limitations of the students at Horizon Schoolss he said. “We take pride in our association with them.
