Designed to assist teachers of the handicapped in individualizing student instruction, this book contains a practical, field-tested organization and administrative plan of action, examples interspersed throughout its chapters, and many tasks and activities designed to assist teachers in diagnosing, prescribing, and evaluating individual student performances. Chapter 1 presents an overview of present program status with emphases and outcomes related to four important variables--the teacher, the student, the program, and the curriculum. Chapter 2 readdresses the four variables, with emphasis on changes needed to apply the diagnostic-prescriptive teaching/learning process. The third through sixth chapters again address each of the variables (one chapter for each variable). Each variable is discussed in depth and each chapter contains many guidelines and practical examples which can be put into use immediately by the teacher. The book also contains 4 appendices, a bibliography, 4 tables, and 20 figures to illustrate its points. (JMK)
