Seven standards reports for service programs consider the areas of education, library, orientation and mobility, rehabilitation centers, sheltered workshops, social services, and vocational services. Each set of standards is preceded by an index of its contents and followed by an appendix of references. A directory lists periodicals, publishers, and reference sources. (Author/LE)
