The problem of the retarded child and his parents is one confronting practicing physicians more and more frequently. Current estimates indicate that state hospital facilities for retarded persons in California are short nearly 6,000 beds. There are long waiting lists for available facilities. Many families are in desperate need of help. To advise a family to send their child to a State hospital is not a real solution nor one possible in the great majority of instances. The responsibility of the physician goes beyond this. Parents' groups have developed in the last few years and are making a real contribution to a resolution of the problem. Local community resources have increased and will further increase. A more accurate clinical understanding of the retarded child has been formed and his treatment needs more clearly defined. Physicians, parents, community and State agencies must work together to effect a coordinated program.
