In 1968-69, 6,877 children were enrolled in North Dakota's public school programs in all areas of special education. There were fewer speech clinicians than in 1967-68, but there were more teachers in classes for educable mentally handicapped children, more services for children with special learning disabilities, and more classes for the trainable mentally handicapped. Forty projects were funded by the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, Titles VI-A, I, and III; four special study institutes and 27 traineeships and fellowships were financed by Public Law 85-926 for training of professional personnel. Data are provided on educational needs, county participation, exceptionality groups served, and program expenditures. (Author/JD)
