California Policy Workshop on Special Education Needs of Migrant Handicapped Students. Proceedings Report (San Jose, California, August 15-17, 1985).
California State Dept. of Education, Sacramento.
This report describes rationale, planning processes/tasks, and evaluation techniques of a 1985 workshop on special education needs of migrant handicapped students and findings and recommendations of workshop participant groups. The workshop was designed to analyze present policies relating to migrant handicapped students, to develop strategies for enhancing services for these students, and to stimulate coordination among migrant, regular, bilingual, and special educators. The 140 participants were divided into work groups which presented findings, recommendations, and actions for 24 problem areas in awareness, communication, information transfer, identification/diagnosis, interagency coordination, funding, staff training, language needs, assessment, bilingual personnel, delivery systems, and instructional programs. Participants ranking 27 problem statements found the greatest concerns to be raising awareness of migrant handicapped student needs, enhancing communication about the students, and improving diagnosis, assessment, and cognizance of cultural and language needs of migrant students. Accompanying tables illustrate workshop planning/evaluation processes and provide rankings of problems with profiles of work group priorities and recommendations. Appendices key workshop grouping to results of a preliminary 1985 survey of migrant students in California special education, provide text of the California State Department of Education Interdivision Agreement of Migrant Children with Exceptional Needs, and include workshop materials and list of participants.
