Self advocacy group helps mentally retarded speak out
A Frederick County group of mentally retarded adults formed with The Arc’s help, calling themselves Working Together. Members seek independence, testify to oppose SSI cuts, and plan to speak to students to foster acceptance. Founded by Patty Vento, the group aims to show they are like everyone else and capable of speaking for themselves. Call The Arc at 663-0909 to learn more or join.
