The physically or mentally handicapped child has special needs because of his handicap. Many services have been developed with the objective of assisting the child to attain the greatest amount of self-sufficiency as an adult. Med-care services are a necessary part of these services. The Crippled Children Services programs provide specialized Med services for handicapped children. These programs need reevaluation. Though they provide care for a signif number of handicapped children, they fail to include many children whose handicapping conditions can be effectively treated & whose fam's cannot afford specialized care. Increased recognition must be given to the needs of the handicapped for soc, vocational, recreational, & custodial services. AA.

Res evidence on sexual codes seems at odds with the popular view that teen-agers have a type of youth culture which, in its irresponsibility, extremism, &defiance, is in sharp conflict with the adult culture. The venereal disease rates, unwed motherhood rates, & studies of teen-age alt's give evidence of a more conservative behavior pattern than exists for older couples. The most popular teen-age sexual codes are the double standard for boys & a petting-with-affection code for girls. Another minor code, strongest among older teenagers, is permissiveness-with-affection, which allows coitus if there is a stable affectionate relation present. The custom of going steady is closely related to these codes, because our culture looks more favorably upon sexual behavior when it occurs in such a stable, affectionate context. Finally, it should be noted that there are sharp class diff's in sexual codes, & other factors such as educ, religion, & ethnic group membership also affect teen-age sexual act's. AA.
