Great Oaks Center was established in 1967 as
the Metropolitan Washington Retardation Center
(Chapter 556, Acts of 1967). The Center opened
in the fall of 1970 and adopted its present name in
1971. Great Oaks serves mentally retarded persons
from Calvert, Charles, Montgomery, Prince
George's and St. Mary's counties. It was the first
regional center in Maryland established to treat the
mentally retarded. The Center provides care and
training for an average daily population of 360
mentally retarded residents (Code Health—Gen-
eral Article, sec. 7-305).

Retarded and developmentally disabled individ-
uals receive a full range of comprehensive and di-
versified services and programs, including respite
care. Education, training, and habilitation services
and programs for the facility's retarded residents are
offered both in the Center and in the community

A day care program integrates programs and
services offered by Great Oaks. A Regional Team
offers outreach services, such as training parents at
home to deal with the special problems of their
children so that institutionalization may be averted.
The Team also helps Local school teachers meet the
education and training needs of their developmen-
tally disabled students. County health departments
and community agencies are aided to develop re-
sources for the developmentally disabled. The Team
also assists discharged residents in the community
