TYLER — Overworked aides at the Fort Worth State School some times “shoveled” food into clients and left them in dirty diapers as long as three hours, a former employee testified Monday. Phil Chapman, a licensed vocatio nal nurse whose last day at the school was Monday, was the first wit ness to take the stand in hearings on conditions in state schools for the mentally retarded. The hearing, expected to last all week, was called to hear several is sues — an expert consultant’s rec ommendations for community placement of the mentally retarded, whether state schools can be held in contempt for not meeting deadlines for new programs and if a system can be set up to hear complaints from plaintiffs. A 1983 out-of-court settlement in the 11-year-old suit granted re tarded people the right to the “least restrictive environment” and called for many state school residents to be moved to community centers. That community placement was to be the first issue to be heard in the hearings before U.S. District Judge William Wayne Justice. Chapman, who testified before about 100 people, said that aides of ten didn’t snow up for work and oth ers would have to be called in or work double shifts. Diapers were often used on pa tients who could use the toilet by themselves, he said, adding that sometimes they would be left in the soiled diapers as long as three hours before they could be changed. “I’ve seen that happen every day,” the witness said. At other times, aides would feed clients two at a time, including those who choked easily. Workers would never feed clients in tandem when inspectors came by, he said. “We shovel it in as quickly as we can so we can get on with bathing,” Chapman said. He also testified that the infir mary went for a week without hot water last month, so the clients had sponge baths if they were bathed at Around town Pre-low students eligible for awards The Texas Aggie Bar Association will award $500 to threeTexa?
