Problems unique to the profoundly retarded and suggested areas are for program emphasis presented to provide a frame of reference for future curriculum development.

This table is based on gen eralizations about age and ability groups and does not take into account intra-group dif ferences. Obviously, the degree of individual variation within a group may be marked. Therefore, the tabular information should be considered only as a general guide when es tablishing individual training goals and ob Helsel, 1967). To develop optimally, profoundly retarded students should also be involved in a variety of sensory-motor activities (Auxter, 1971; Webb, 1969). Indoor obstacle courses can be constructed in the classroom to supplement outdoor recreational and physical fitness ex periences such as walks, waterplay, swinging and the use of standard playground equipment (AAHPER, 1971; Hillman, 1968; Hillman, 1966). .
