INTERVIEW DATA AND OBSERVATIONS. Shawn was accompanied to the evaluation
by his mother who provided much of the interview data. Shawn is a rel-
atively shy young man of average height and build. He was somewhat hes-
itant in his conversation and was very slow and deliberate with his re-
sponses to test items. Shawn was cooperative throughout the testing and
mannerly; behavior was appropriate without emotional outbursts.
Shawn lives with his brother(age 18) and parents. He has received home-
bound education last year and this year after failing to adjust to more
structured programs. He was not abused or mistreated in his childhood.
He is a member of Christ United Methodist Church in Shippensburg and
states that he enjoys watching TV and bowling. He admits to angry out-
bursts and not responding well to the work 'no.' Shawn does not use al-
cohol or drugs and has not been in trouble with law enforcement authori-
ties. For additional information please refer to the 00-164.

Shawn is currently functioning in the Mild Range of Mental Retardation
on all measures of IQ. This result differs from the 1967 evaluation
where performance skills were much higher than verbal skills. Regarding
the verbal subtests, Shawn knew the colors in the flag/shape of a ball/
purpose of a thermometer but did not know how many months in a year/
where the sun rises, he was able to repeat three numbers in forward ser-
ies from memory and three numbers in reverse order from memory, he knew
full definitions for bed/ship/penny/repair and partial definitions for
winter/breakfast/fabric, he could count 7 blocks and do simple one colu~n
addition and subtraction in his head, he knew why we wash clothes and
what tD do with an addressed and stamped envelope but he did not know
why foods are cooked or why child labor laws are necessary, and he was
'able.to identify similarities between orange/banana, dog/lion, coat/suit,
eye/ear, and north/west. Regarding the visual/motor(Performance) sub-
tests, Shawn recognized missing details in six moderately complex pic-
tures, arranged four pictures in proper sequence of a moderately complex
social interaction, successfully duplicated three relatively slmple.block
designs/one without prior demonstration by the examiner, received par-
tial credit for puzzles of a person/profile/hand, and was abla to proper-
ly match ~ymbol~ and numbers in an eye/hand speed/coordinatian task.
SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS. Shawn is currently functioning in the Mild
Range of Mental Retardation on measures of cognitive skills; emotional
responses and social judgment and interaction are also significantly im-
paired. Appropriate diagnoses appear to be Mild Mental Retardation(DSH
III-R: 317.00) and Organic Personality Oisorder(DSM III-R: 310.10).
Shawn can understand, retain, and follow simple instructions in a one-
to-one supervised environment. He can sustain attention to perform sim-
ple repetitive tasks in that same environment. He cannot relate appro-
priately to others, including fellow workers and supervisors, in a work
setting, and cannot tolerate the day-to-day work pressure of production
demands, schedules, etc. He is not capable of managing his own funds.
