- Summary:
-
The handbook is intended to give regular vocational educators basic information about integrating disabled students into their classrooms. An initial section addresses common concerns of vocational teachers, including ways to overcome fears and raise the comfort level, safety, basic special education laws, roles of a vocational teacher in the Individualized Education Program meeting, reasonable accommodations, discussions with non-handicapped peers, and additional personnel. The next section contains information on six disabilities: epilepsy, learning disabilities, hearing impairments, mental retardation, mobility impairments, and visual impairments. Case studies are presented in which students describe their difficulties, teachers' attitudes towards them, and their school and work experiences. The concluding section outlines mini-activities involving role playing and simulation of disabled persons. A glossary, references, and bibliography are appended. (CL)
