Original Toronto Star caption: A 6-Year-old boy, mute and retarded, gets coaching from speech therapist Helen Egar at the Mental Retardation Centre on Surrey Pl. When the treatment began, the boy was unable to speak and was afraid of all furry objects, even teddy bears. He's now speaking sentences and plays with a dog and a hamster at home.
