    The term ‘retarded’ appears in these papers as 1950’s commonly accepted medical terminology. While today we would likely use the term ‘intellectual disability’ in 1955 the medical community used the term ‘mental retardation.’ Florence Finney was deeply involved in the Committee On Public Welfare and Humane Institutions, including institutions for the intellectually disabled.
