A Handicapped Student Needs Assessment.
Partners in Career Education, Arlington, TX.; Texas Education Agency, Austin.
Presented are findings from a 1977 statewide assessment of the career education performance of 1078 handicapped secondary students on a 45-item screening device. Statistical data are presented for five handicapping conditions (visually handicapped, orthopedically handicapped, auditorially handicapped, educable mentally retarded and language learning disabled) relative to the performance of nonhandicapped students on 26 subcategories, including goal setting, decision making, career information, job interview skills, use of money and resources, and worker interdependence. Other findings presented include highest and lowest performance by sub-category. Specific aspects (answer sheet, instructions, and test items) are discussed in terms of their appropriateness for use with special populations. The descriptions of the nine categories and 26 subcategories in the study are appended. (CL)
