The annotated bibliography on multiply handicapped children and adults contains approximately 90 abstracts and associated indexing information for documents, published from 1962 through 1972, which have been selected from the computer file of the Information Center of the Council for Exceptional Children. It is explained that the abstracts were chosen according to criteria of availability of document to user, current applicability, information value, author reputation, and classical content. Preliminary information is given to explain how to read the abstract (a sample abstract is included for identification of abstract parts), how to use the author and subject indexes, how to order documents through the ERIC Document Reproduction Service (EDRS), and how to order "Exceptional Child Education Abstracts" in which the abstracts are originally published. Also provided are a list of terms searched to compile the bibliography and a list of journals from which articles were abstracted. References included treat of aspects such as procedures for evaluating the hearing of the retarded, educational programs for deaf blind children, and research on psychological needs of multiply handicapped children.
