Lanterman Developmental Center Population

Sixty percent of Lanterman residents are males; 40% are females. Ninety-seven percent of the residents have an IQ below 50, 70% have an IQ below 14, and 44% have an IQ below 9. The current medium age range is in the 40's and 50's. Eighty-two percent of the residents are profoundly retarded. (This means that an adult has a mental age of three years or less). The probability of associated neurological damage also being present is high. Many are unable to ambulate and have multiple handicaps. Some may learn to walk, use a wheelchair, or use other means of assistance to become mobile. Others may learn to feed themselves and develop toileting, bathing, and dressing skills. Most learn to respond to simple verbal communication while others learn communication skills such as sign language or the use of communication boards. Most require assistance in performing self-care skills, and most require supervision of various levels. However, the goal is to teach residents to be as independent as possible.
