Burrell, Lewis P.; Talarico, Robert L.
The handbook, fifth in a series from Project Employability (Ohio), provides an information source for helping educable and trainable mentally retarded high school students bridge the gap between school and the world of work. Chapter 1 reviews Project Employability in terms of background, goals and objectives, program products, program development, and effectiveness. Chapter 2 addresses job opportunities, while Chapter 3 discusses effective occupational education programs and provides direction to parents of young children. Chapter 4 offers support resources for the handicapped. The fifth chapter looks at job maintenance. Legal rights and requirements are the topic of Chapter 6. A final chapter considers the role and function of parents, the work-study coordinator, teacher, supervisor, and employer. Chapters 2 through 6 contain self help pre- and posttests as well as illustrative vignettes. (SB)
