Abstract	The seventh of eight delegate workbooks prepared for the May, 1977 White House Conference on Handicapped Individuals contains ballots for the workshop on problems of severely disabled persons, especially those related to delivery of services and housing. The ballots are designed to enable delegates to assign priorities to various issues and proposals in a way that reflects conclusions of state and territorial conferences. The following issues are among those presented: protection through advocacy programs; service delivery problems and their solutions; changes in Social Security Disability Insurance and Supplemental Security Income Laws needed to provide incentives to work; state commitment laws that encourage deinstitutionalization; and housing subsidies. For each such topic, multiple proposals, to which delegates must assign priorities, are listed. For example, to insure proper building standards and designs, it is suggested that tax incentives or rebates be provided as incentives, that grants be given to schools of design, architecture and engineering, that governmental agencies develop codes of accessibility and standards of design, and that an association of advocates be established.
