Presented is the final report of a 4-year project to develop and evaluate a prototype program for training special education consultants who are qualified to assist school personnel and parents in remediating academic and social behaviors of handicapped children in the Kansas City (Missouri) area. An overview and introduction are provided in the first two sections which cover background, objectives, and elements of the training program. Section III on the development of the program offers information on the masters and doctoral degree components, skill areas, the financial plan, and vitae of program staff. Major activities and accomplishments for each year are noted in section IV to include selection of masters and doctoral trainees, evaluation of the program, and seminars for both part-time and full-time students. Reviewed in section V on the training program are the development of the consulting teacher's role description, the course sequence for the 4-year program, the types of workshops offered, information on the Learning Activity Package, procedures for individualized programing, and other activities (such as international, national, state, and local presentations). Validation of the training component is the focus of section VI which provides 12 case studies illustrating a variety of problems referred for remediation and the various remediation approaches. A final section on the summary, conclusions, and recommendations offers a brief discussion of the project's success. Approximately half of the document consists of appendixes which include sample student-teacher referral contact forms, a copy of the Diagnostic Educational Test Battery, the classroom management suggestions packet for in-servicing, regulations and requirements for doctoral students, enrollment information and schedules for master level students, and a thesis guide for the consulting teacher training program.
