In 1963, the Department of Child Welfare received funds from the United States Department of Health, Education and Welfare for a demonstration project designed to study the effects of foster home care for mentally retarded children. The program, called Specialized Foster Home Care for Deprived Mentally Retarded Children, focused on the economic, educational, and emotional aspects of foster home care as opposed to institutional care.
