Edward Orndoff, Program Director
Sabillasville 21780 Telephone: 241-3131

The Victor Cullen Center was established as a
training school for male minors by Chapter 818,
Acts of 1965, under the State Department of Pub-
lic Welfare. It was transferred to the Juvenile
Services Administration on July 1, 1967. Prior to
1965, the facilities were known as the Victor
Cullen State Hospital, a tuberculosis hospital un-
der the general management of the State Depart-
ment of Health, which originally had been
established in 1908 as the State Sanitorium.

The Victor Cullen School was transferred from
the jurisdiction of the Department of Juvenile
Services to the Mental Retardation Administra-
tion and redesignated as the Victor Cullen Center
in January 1974.

The Center is oriented toward a nonmedical
model of education, training, and habilitation for
all of its severely and profoundly retarded
residents. The goal of the program is to prepare
residents to return to the community within a
five-year period. Individualized programs are pre-
pared to implement this long-range goal and
residents use the generic services provided by
doctors, dentists, speech therapists, occupational
therapists, physical therapists, and pharmaceutical

services in the local community. More than half
of the residents attend day training in the commu-
nity. The Center is budgeted for ninety residents.
