Houston offers specialized services because the Texas Insti tute of Rehabilitation is located there, he said, but the Houston center concentrates on major disabilities. For physical ther apy, Thompson said, patients must go to smaller hospitals and cannot receive the total treat ment that they could receive from the Brazos Valley Rehabili tation Center. The average treatment costs $24, Thompson said, but treat ment for some disabilities may cost a patient may cost a patient more. For example, total rehabi litation of a spinal cord injury may cost up to $70,000. But not rehabilitating some one may cost more than rehabili tation. If Mark had entered an institution, his care would have cost the federal government $3 million. Now Mark isn’t costing the federal government any thing— he’s supporting himself from his job. But the center needs more room — 4,000 square feet isn’t enough, Thompson said. The new center, which will be built on the corner of Kemp Street and Memorial in Bryan, will have more than four times as much room — 16,700 square feet — in its First phase and will replace the present facilities on East 29th Street. The second phase will house classrooms for physically hand icapped children. Thompson said the expansion will tie the children’s rehabilitation and education together, which will make it easier for them to attend regular schools. The third phase of the new building will have a therapeutic pool and cardiac rehabilitation center, which now is available only through Texas A&M Uni versity, Thompson said. After the third phase is built, the cen ter will continue to cooperate with the University on the car diac rehabilitation program, he said. No starting date has been set for the last two phases, Thomp son said, each pnase will be built as the money becomes available, he said. s to mail theft bring reward worth lilt -term effete i if sometiiH the nexi )M5:35 p.m. on Nov. 24, at we had e p,. st ( ,ff lce G n 25th Street in ect wsioti, a f ema i e postal employee skindofn(iiBL turn j n g j ier nuu | van r ? e T cx l ith two canvas mail bags.
