The purpose of this report is to examine the role of vocational education in Florida in providing services for the handicapped. Included are descriptions of vocational education policies for these services, the target populations, their special training needs, successful vocational education programs for the handicapped, and the role in rehabilitation that is played by community agencies. The three problems most often mentioned by vocational educators were: (1) Fears of vocational education teachers about integrating the handicapped into regular vocational classes, (2) The lack of joint planning among agencies, and (3) The hesitancy of school personnel to accept new programs. Since the present services are not adequately meeting the needs of the handicapped in Florida, increased efforts by local agencies are required. State consultants in vocational education should be utilized. The following needs should be met: (1) work evaluation centers and personnel development for vocational education, (2) local surveys of job opportunities for the handicapped, (3) inservice training relating to the handicapped, (4) better coordination of services, (5) continued research and evaluation, (6) additional consideration of the emotionally disturbed and the socially maladjusted, and (7) the effecting of community acceptance of the handicapped. This document is related to four others, available as VT 019 460, VT 019 461, VT 019 463, and VT 019 464 in this issue. (AG)
