The Highland Health Facility was created orig-

tal Disabilities Unit and a Psychiatric Screening
and Evaluation Unit at Baltimore City Hospitals'
"D" Building. The first patients were admitted in
November 1972.

The Facility provides intensive habilitation for
physically handicapped, mentally retarded, and
developmentally disabled persons between three
and sixteen years of age. The major emphasis is
on mobilization training for both nonambulatory
and partially ambulatory individuals.

A special education program was established in
October 1975, which focuses on the special prob-
lems and needs of mentally retarded and develop-
mentally disabled residents of the facility.

The Highland Facility is budgeted for ninety-
nine mentally retarded and developmentally dis-
abled residents and forty-seven pyschiatric resi-
dents (Code Health-General Article, sec. 7-305).
