Information is provided on Vocational Appraisal for the Handicapped, a system for the identification and selection of handicapped students who can most benefit from vocational education for handicapped programs. (Career investigation for handicapped persons is offered for seventh and eigth graders; vocational education for the handicapped persons is offered for ninth, tenth, and eleventh graders; and the vocational adjustment components--on-the-job-training--is offered to twelfth graders.) The system is described, and its goals and objectives are defined.
