Job training offered
to m en fa lly re tardea
By Leanne Kess
NU School of Journalism
Lincoln's mentally retarded
adults have an opportunity to
lead productive lives through
vocational training offered by
the Lancaster Office of Mental
Retardation (LOMR).
LOMR's Vocational Service
Center (VSC) prepares retarded
adults socially and
psychologically for jobs in the
community, according to
Steven D. Kess, VSC director.
Some of the clients (asjthe
mental retarded are called) are
capable of getting jobs (hat
range from work with ,sod
crews and roofing companies
to janitorial jobs in hospitals.
But many of the client are
not capable of performing up
to the standards necessary to
hold a regular job. In thatcase,
Kess said, the VSC gives them a
feeling of self-worthy and
purpose.
At the VSC, clients work on
contracts from area firms that
have varied from pitting
together foam hair roljers to
assembling fire, alarms for
electronic companies," Kess
said. More than 14 businesses
have contracts with the VSC.
Each client is paid according
to the amount of work he or
she is capable of doing, Kess
said. The contracting company
not only gets a job done, but
the clients get experience.
Kess said he was not eager
to start working with the
mentally retarded. He
graduated from Moorhead
State College, Moorhead,
Minn., in 1970 as a sociology
major and originally planned to
work with juvenile delinquents.
But in the two years he has
been with LOMR he said he
has learned that the mentally
retarded are human beings and
are not to be feared.
"They are not stupid," he
said. "They are just slow and
need a lot of guidance and
reassurance."
It is, not fair to say that the
retarded are not capable of
doing a difficult job, Kess said.

When shown how to assemble a
wiring system, many of the
clients can do it. The difficulty
for them develops when they
are required to do a job with
which they are not familiar.
Kess started a branch VSC
workshop at Lancaster Manor
(the old Orthopedic Hospital
building) at 11th and South
streets. The workshop is for
higher functioning clients who
work on an assembly line

said. "Most of the clients have
never had any real disciplining
and expecting them to sit still
at a job is sometimes
unrealistic."
some clients are so clever
that they can manipulate a
staff member without his ever

client, for example, continually
tries to get out of work by
complaining of a headache or
stomach ache. Kess said the
best way to handle this
situation is to ignore the
