It’s an ordinary house nestled on one of the
many streets that crease the Capilano Highlands.
Inside, the children, five of them, are on a high.
Chattering excitedly, they hurry their chores in
time to watch tonight’s TV special.

Just ordinary kids except
for one thing. All are
physically handicapped.
This is Quinton Place, a
residential group home
operated by the North Shore
Association for the
Physically Handicapped
(NSAPH).

The Association was
founded in 1975, in response
to community need. It
strives to represent the
interests of all physically
handicapped individuals on
the North Shore.

As just one of the
Association's services,
Quinton Place offers a
family-style alternative to
children who might other-
wise be institutionalized.

The children who live
there are involved in all
areas of community life,
recreation, education and
individual personal ac-
tivities. As part of a
“family,” they share chores
and responsibilities. Because
of its proximity, parents are
able to visit often, joining
staff and child in a total care
program.

On weekends when the
residents returm to their own
homes, their places are
quickly filled by other
handicapped children on a
respite basis.

In-home support
programs are also offered for
special needs children.
These programs assist
families with personal care,
self-help training and

Also available are very
limited resources in oc-

cupational and_ speech
therapy as well as a
demonstration project in
music therapy.

While the emphasis with
the handicapped child is
parent involvement, the
handicapped adult wishes to
become an_ independent
contributing member of the
community. The Adult
Services Committee as part
of ‘the NSAPH works to
identify problems of mutual
concern and find their own
solutions.

Housing, transportation,
respite care and the ac-
cessibility of facilities to the
handicapped are a few of

ing a family atmosphere

those problems.

Many adult handicapped
live with their parents or
other family members. Thus
they continue to be
dependent long past the time
when most children would
be on their own.

It is hoped that an adult
group home can be
established in the near
future. In the meantime
respite weekends offer the
individual and his family a
break from the = stresses
involved in his care.

These weekends have
included the Outdoor
School, downtown Van-

couver and a ferry trip to
Prince Rupert. They are
planned for variety and
interest. Combined financial
support from Long Term
Care, NSAPH and other
service clubs provides for
personal care attendants and
keeps the cost to the han-
dicapped minimal.
