PEP for The Unique Learner at Glenwood State School
The Provocational Experience Program at Glenwood State Hospital School Iowa trains mentally retarded residents in sheltered workshops. Director Neil Goos says PEP builds work skills and behavior modification, enabling productive lives and wages. The program began January 1969 with 120 to 130 residents and includes Evaluation Center Training Center and Advanced Training Center with one to one teaching and gradual progression to workshops or activities centers in the community.
