AbstraczIncreasingly, children and youth with HIV/AIDS develop characteristics that will require special education and related services. Subsequently, special education teacher preparation programs, in order to remain current, must respond to this new need. The purpose of this study is to examine current textbooks typically used in introductory courses for teachers preparing to work with students with disabilities, and determine the quantitative extent of HIV/AIDS content. Eleven textbooks were reviewed for inclusion of any offive HMAIDS content categories. The five categories comprised Individualized Education Plans (IEP) and program planning; skills for relating to children with HIV/AIDS; the prevention and transmission of HIV/AIDS; drug abuse prevention: and prevalence and background information about HWAIDS. Only three of 11 texts addressed all categories. Implications for exceptional student teacher preparation about HIMAIDS are discussed.
