Congress of the U.S., Washington, DC. House Committee on the District of Columbia.
Proceedings from the September 1985 hearing focus on the implementation of P.L. 94-142, The Education for All Handicapped Children Act, as it relates to learning handicapped delinquents in the District of Columbia (D.C.). Statements are presented from officials of the general accounting office, D.C. public school officials, administrators of D.C. social service agencies, D.C. policymakers, a psychologist, an educator, and an attorney. Among issues addressed are lack of communication among agencies with overlapping responsibilities, the effects of learning disability (LD) on all areas of living, and reports of shortcomings in D.C.'s services to handicapped delinquents (including lack of individualized education programs and inadequate monitoring by public schools). Appended material includes a summary of a study on the link between LD and juvenile delinquency and statements of local parent and advisory groups. (CL)
