Abstract	The report presents Mississippi's plan for delivering education and related services to blind and visually handicapped students. An introduction reviews the development of the report based on the work of five task forces. The task forces' reports focus on the following topics and include recommendations for state action (sample subtopics in parentheses): (1) search, evaluation, and placement (identification and assessment, visual acuity screening, aids and appliances); (2) educational services for preschool through high school (multiply handicapped visually impaired children, Mississippi School for the Blind); (3) postsecondary programs (survey results); (4) professional preparation (teacher training, orientation and mobility instructor training, problems in teacher availability/preparation, specific manpower needs in the professional fields); and (5) community services (housing, leisure activities, orientation and mobility, transportation, advocacy/legal concerns). An epilogue suggests the need for new legislation and for changed regulations and policy to implement some of the recommendations. (CL)
