Reviewed are the programs administered by the Office of Education, Department of Health, Education, and Welfare to train educators of the handicapped with emphasis on the increasing need for training of regular classroom teachers to deal with handicapped students and the need for vocational education for the handicapped. Outlined are needs for improved evaluation and dissemination of information resulting from special developmental projects. Included are recommendations such as the following: provide a major emphasis on programs for training regular classroom teachers to effectively deal with the handicapped; discourage the use of Bureau of Education for the Handicapped funds for paying stipends for full-time students; emphasize the need for applying individualized instruction techniques to the handicapped by supporting projects designed to extend the regular classroom teacher's ability to reach individual students; and develop and implement a plan to provide vocational educators with the skills and abilities needed to effectively deal with the handicapped in the regular classroom. Included are such items as a chart indicating demand for special education teachers for school years 1975 - 76 and 1976 - 77 and the perceived effect of withdrawal of federal funding from collegiate special education programs.
