COMPLETION
ANS:
Intellectual and developmental disabilities
IDD
2. The term ____________________ includes intellectual disabilities plus other conditions of mental and
physical impairment for which the child is likely to need lifelong help from a variety of health, social,
and educational agencies.
4. The intensities of support for people with IDD are measured as (a) ____________________, (b)
____________________, (c) ____________________, and (d) ____________________.
6. In ____________________, a single-gene defect that can produce severe IDD, the absence of a
specific enzyme in the liver leads to a buildup of the amino acid phenylalanine.
ANS:
phenylketonuria
(PKU
7. Drugs (including alcohol) and cigarette smoke are prime examples of ____________________, which
refers to any agent that causes a structural abnormality following fetal exposure during pregnancy.
ANS: teratogens
ESSAY
ANS:
Answers must specify that there are many causes of intellectual and developmental disabilities and
should name several of the following: chromosomal abnormalities, Down syndrome, phenylketonuria,
fragile X syndrome, toxic agents, fetal alcohol syndrome, heavy metals, infections, unknown factors,
and environmental conditions.
The answer should also state that children with mild intellectual and developmental disabilities are
more likely to have unknown or environmental causes for their condition.
2. Why is the concept of adaptive behavior important in identifying individuals with intellectual and
developmental disabilities?
ANS:
The inclusion of adaptive behavior in the identification process reflects the greater emphasis on the
environment and context of the child and serves as a balance to data collected by means of
standardized tests, providing a more complete picture of the individual evaluated. It is possible that an
individual would perform in a substandard manner on an IQ test but demonstrate adequate skills in the
community and as a result not be considered IDD. The information gained through an adaptive
behavior assessment provides educators with a focus for intervention planning and skill development.
3. What issues related to functioning in the workplace should be addressed in transition planning for an
individual with intellectual and developmental disabilities?
ANS:
Answers should include
(1) vocational training in secondary school,
(2) support services in the work environment,
(3) on-the-job training,
(4) high school programs that prepare students for living in the community, and
(5) cooperative transitional planning between educational agencies and social agencies.
In the final analysis the success of adults with IDD in the workplace depends on their training, their
attitudes, their work habits, and the willingness of their employers to structure their jobs for them.

GETTING RICH.
When the Society purchased the property in St James Street they
were very poor and had to take a bond on the property, and when, a
year or two later, the adjacent property in Park Street was purchased,
the amount of the bond was increased, the total being £830. Now, in
1878, the committee found themselves in a position to pay out the
bondholders, and accordingly this was done. The views of the
committee on the subject of “bonds,” as reported in the minutes, are
interesting and worthy of quotation. They state:
“The uplifting of the bonds has entailed a considerable expense to this
Society. The amount was advanced by four separate parties, who had each to
be secured by a separate bond. We should draw a lesson from this which
might be beneficial to us in the future, to make us beware that this or any of
our respective local societies never have a ‘bond’ on any property where it is
possible to get co-operative money.”
At this point it may be interesting to note the apparent effect which
the withdrawal of the trade of Barrhead Society had on the Bakery.
For the ninth year the average turnover of the Society was 223 sacks
per week, while in the tenth year this fell to an average of 188. The
position is more fully illustrated by taking the totals for the two
years; that for the ninth year being 11,588 sacks, while that for the
tenth year had fallen to 9,774 sacks. About this time the members
were beginning to be uneasy about the Oakmill Society, in which they
had invested £200, and at one quarterly meeting a delegate wished
to know whether the committee considered the shares of this society
a safe investment. The meeting was assured by Messrs Barclay and
M‘Nair, who were both members of the Oakmill Society, that they
considered the investment quite a safe one. At the quarterly meeting
in March 1879 question was again raised, when Mr Alexander, the
treasurer of the Baking Society, gave it as his opinion that “the loan
capital in Oakmill Society was as safe as ever it was.”
FURTHER EXTENSIONS PROPOSED.
Meantime negotiations had been going on as the result of which
the tenants in the bolt and rivet shop agreed to remove, and their
boiler, engine, and shafting were purchased by the Society for use in
driving the machinery which was being installed in the bakery. A new
roof was also being put on the bakery, and the question of erecting
two new ovens in the premises vacated by their tenant was being
considered, when the news came that Johnstone Society had decided
to start baking on their own account. This put an end for the time
being to any thought of erecting new ovens, as the withdrawal of this
society would again reduce the trade to below the capacity of the
ovens already erected, but, notwithstanding that fact, it was decided
that the whole question should be submitted to the quarterly meeting
for its decision. The 40th quarterly meeting was held on 1st March
1879. The society had now been in existence for ten years, and
although the outlook at the moment was not very bright, yet worse
times had already been met and overcome. Doubtless, the members
of committee were looking forward to the time when other societies
at a distance from the centre would begin baking on their own
account, but they knew also that the membership of the societies in
the immediate vicinity of the Bakery was increasing, and hoped to
recoup themselves in this way. At the quarterly meeting a general
discussion on the question of building new ovens, in view of the fact
that Johnstone Society was withdrawing, took place, but no decision
was come to.
THE RESULTS OF TEN YEARS’ WORK.
In considering the trade for the ten years during which the Society
had been established, it is to be noted that that for the ninth year was
the greatest, 11,588 sacks having been turned into bread and biscuits
in that year. The tenth year was the first in which there was a fall in
the turnover, each of the first nine years showing a steady increase
over that immediately preceding, and the reason for the drop in the
tenth year was so obvious and so insurmountable that no uneasiness
arose in consequence. From the second quarter in the seventh year
the dividend each quarter was almost uniformly a shilling or over,
and by the end of the tenth year no less than £8,051 had been
allocated in dividend, as well as £75 as dividend to non-members;
while £1,548 had been paid as interest on share and loan capital.
Thus in the first ten years, those associated with the Bakery had
received nearly £10,000, which they certainly would not have
received had the Baking Federation not been started. In addition,
they had a valuable property represented by shares and loans
amounting to £5,706, while private loan-holders had also £544
invested. At the same time, in addition to the employees being paid
wages equal to those paid elsewhere in the trade, £766 had been
divided amongst them in the form of bonus. The directors were also
extremely liberal in their depreciations, for during the ten years
£4,270 had been written off property, stocks, machinery, fittings,
and live stock. This made for the stability of the Society. In view of
the fact that the capital was small and the capital outlay
comparatively large, the financial policy adopted of devoting large
sums to depreciation instead of paying them away in dividends was a
sound one, and enabled the committee to undertake with a light
heart extensions which would otherwise have caused them
considerable anxiety. They had established on a sound financial basis
a structure which was to prove of lasting benefit to the co-operative
movement, and which was to bear no uncertain testimony in future
years to the ability of the builders and to the soundness of the
principles on which they were carrying on their business.
