Serving Special Needs Students in Vocational Education (The Carl D. Perkins Vocational Education Act PL 98-524).
Texas Education Agency, Austin.
This document describes the vocational assessment, support services, and guidance activities requirements of the Carl D. Perkins Vocational Education Act under the Criteria for Services and Activities for the Handicapped and for the Disadvantaged, Section 204. It begins by defining those students eligible for these program activities and services. Required services and activities are then discussed. Vocational assessment is considered in terms of who is responsible; who, when, what, and how to assess; and use of the data. A discussion of vocational support services includes these topics: support centers, support teachers, and models of supplemental services for limited English proficient students. Guidance and counseling activities are suggested. Coordination of services with the Job Training Partnership Act is briefly addressed. Appendixes, amounting to over one-half of the document, include assessment forms, a list of assessment instruments, a special needs student profile, a form for a comprehensive analysis of a vocational training program, forms for prescribing vocational support services, and a list of selected sources of bilingual and non-English vocational materials. Also attached is a chart showing the planning/placement process as it relates to the vocational assessment of handicapped students. (YLB)
