Cooperative Programs in Special Education.
Lord, F.E., Ed.; Isenberg, Robert M., Ed.
Representative approaches used in programs in special education in the United States are presented. An overview is given of the types, definitions, numbers, and prevailing practices for serving exceptional children in the public schools; various approaches to developing area programs (contracting for service, organizing a special district, and developing an effective intermediate unit) are discussed. Specific cooperative programs described are joint agreements in Illinois; intermediate school districts in Michigan; the program in Oakland County, Michigan; cooperative programs in California; southwest school districts of Los Angeles County; the program in Orange County, California; and the boards of cooperative educational services in New York. Also considered are the Special District for the Education and Training of Handicapped Children of St. Louis County, Missouri; and the multicounty unit plan in Iowa. A list of 12 resource materials is included. (DF)
