Recent research evidence suggests that a more complete understanding of the abilities of mentally retarded students may result from assessing their creative development. Moreover, there are strong indications that the mentally retarded may achieve as highly or even excel the normal child in creative ability. This study provides two programs of creative training for mentally retarded students and measures the resulting creative development. The results, although based on a small sample, suggest that visual-motor creative training may enhance the creative production of these children.
