Described in the booklet are program guidelines for serving trainable mentally retarded students in California public schools. Considered are the effects of changing public attitudes and legislation on program development, and reviewed are legal provisions regarding financing, identification, assessment, and placement of trainable mentally retarded students. A section on physical facilities covers such aspects as location and building characteristics. Analyzed are general characteristics of trainable retarded pupils, and suggested are criteria for instructional grouping. Discussed are essential training goals, including development of personal and social competency, and specific curriculum planning areas, such as self-help and communication skills. Program evaluation components are said to include assessments of products and the delivery system. (CL)
