Proceedings of a 1986 symposium on the education of children with low incidence handicapping conditions focus on medically fragile children, advocacy, and technology. R. Dwain Blackston enumerates conditions affecting medically fragile children, family needs and stresses, and guidelines for effective family-staff relationships. Responses by Frances P. Connor and Barbara Sirvis discuss related factors affecting educational programming, including teacher competence and management problems in the school setting. Frederick J. Weintraub, in "Action Agenda to Improve the Education of Low Incidence Handicapped Children," elaborates on such policy issues as a lifelong continuum of educational opportunities and quality of education. Responses by June Mullins and Anne L. Corn address the limits of educational responsibility by special education teachers and issues of special concern to teachers of blind and low vision children. Lawrence A. Scadden describes the impact of technology on visually impaired children and youth, while Gail McGregor focuses on the use of technology in educational programs for multiply handicapped students. A response by Samuel Ashcroft notes the need to reduce the gap between the state of the art and the status of educational practice in the use of technology. A concluding statement by Vivian Correa summarizes the symposium's professional contributions. (JW)
