By working with these children the students hod the chance to see how physical, emotional. ond intellectual handicaps influence the development of personalities. At first, working ot the E.C.C. con be o very terrifying experience ond many students were apprehensive when they began. However, it didn’t take long until they become enthusiastic about the the program ond almost fearless in their willingness to help.

Most of the work was on o one to one basis with eoch child ond it gove both the psychology students and the children o chonce to leorn. The staff or the E.C.C. felt the students from Logon High could relate better to the E.C.C. students than the university students because they were much less inhibited. The students hove proven to the staff that they do help ond they con moke o difference. Julene Smlrh patiently watches as the children work to ochieve various tasks. Working together.
