EARLY DETECTION OF DISABILITY AND FAMILY PLANNING WITH PARTICULAR CONCERN ON MENTAL RETARDATION ILLUSTRATED BY CASE PRESENTATION

Abstract

The problems of mentally retarded persons which we encounter in our everyday work and several examples with drastically negative consequences of not planning the family have induced us to report our view points and suggestions about the necessity and importance of early detection of disability and necessary actions to help mentally retarded persons especially females in family planning and protection from sexual abuse.The negative consequences are reported by illustration of one case of mentally retarded mother with seven mentally retarded children and herself born illegitimately also by mentally retarded mother.
