The proper term is MRDD not "retarded adults" as you stated above. I know we all say things without thinking but it's unfair to those who have friends/family members with MRDD to call them retarded adults. Mental Retardation is a developmental disabi...

In Ohio, when a STNA goes to work it is reported to the Ohio Department of Health, each employer must report it to the registry. I'm not sure about your state sorry for the missup
