The Institutionalized Facilities Program, sponsored by the Division of Special Education of the New York City Public Schools, provides after-school or daily pull-out instruction in pre-vocational education, career education, and daily living skills to students residing in institutions for neglected or delinquent children and youth. In 1982-83, the program reached 3,769 students. Analyses indicated that there was a strong relationship between program attendance and student mastery of career education skills and a moderate relationship between attendance and mastery of daily living skills. These relationships were stronger than those observed in previous program cycles. The program continued to implement recommendations from previous cycles for early preplanning. In addition, in response to the evaluation of the 1981-82 program, assessment of student progress was linked to ongoing instructional planning, which was expanded to include activities of daily living skills as well as career education. It is recommended that preplanning again be initiated as early as possible and that the program continue efforts to provide instruction at the appropriate level for all participants, including the highest functioning students.
