This paper discusses a Summer Adolescent Program organized for mentally and physically handicapped teenagers with potential for a moderate level ofindependence, but lacking in self-help, socialization, and mobility skills, and prevocational readiness. The purpose of the seven-week program is to provide a practical, activity-oriented setting where teens can capitalize on existing skills, and learn and practice new skills. Program content includes assembly project, personal care and cooking units, recreation, interaction groups, and parent participation. Evaluations are based on objectives formulated for each adolescent at the beginning of the program and on staff ratings of contacts with each youngster.
