Question

it is extremely important that i find good information about this. i have looked everywhere and still haven't found any useable information

Answer 1

Try people first language, Children With Mental Retardation, or be more broad in your search, Children with Cognitive Impairment, Cognitive Challenges, Developmental Delay. . .

handicapped kids is a dated term and not so politically correct, so reliable sources probably wouldn't use the term.

Check out www.pslstrive.org

Answer 2

Try the Special Olympics, and do your search under "special needs children".  Look for any website that ends in ORG as they tend to be a little more reliable.  It also may help if you narrow your topic, because mentally handicapped kids can range from an IQ of about 50-75, which is a LOT of ground.
