Abstract | This newsletter issue focuses on educating the handicapped to enter the world of work. Topics addressed include legislation, assessment of vocational education programs, transitional services, employment programs, and job separation. The feature article describes provisions of the 1984 Carl D. Perkins Vocational Education Act (Public Law 98-524), which seeks to assure equal access to quality vocational education programs and to provide the necessary special services to enhance the participation of special needs students. Fiscal provisions, required information dissemination to students, equal access assurances, and service delivery provisions of the Act are described. Additional sections discuss a published research study examining the reasons for 107 job separations by mildly mentally retarded persons and summarize three current citations addressing school-to-work transition for severely disabled persons, competitive employment programs, and the role of social competence in the community adjustment of developmentally disabled persons. Videocassette programs, courseware, and instructional materials are also reviewed. Descriptions in the area of assessment include a cooperative vocational-technical program entitled Assessment Remediation and Mainstreaming, as well as a transitional vocational assessment model.
