Ten demonstration projects were established in selected rehabilitation facilities in cooperation with other agencies to serve mentally retarded young adults (ages 16 to 21 years, IQ's 50 to 75). Pupils in special class-workshop settings were evaluated by workshop managers, teachers, and rehabilitation counselors. Each project teacher was responsible for orienting the curricula toward the student's needs based on the area where he lived with the focus on developing social adequacy; consideration was given to the rehabilitation process as an integral function. Procedures for admission, evaluation, counseling, and job training and placement were developed. Sixty-two of the 209 students (29.67%) were rehabilitated under the project and were also clients of vocational rehabilitation; 13 were rehabilitated through other means; 24 were in training, in school, or in sheltered employment; seven worked part-time; three were homemakers; 44 were still in project classes; and 56 were non-rehabilitated. Problems in student selection and recommendations for future vocational programs are discussed; forms and letters used in data collection are provided. (LE)
