“…Kelly emphasized that if parents are not involved in the school program, they will continue to contribute to their child's problems. Brolin and Wright (1971) found that the family influence was important in implementing rehabilitation recommendations for the mentally retarded and program efforts in mental retardation have been successful through parent counselling (Appell, Williams and Fishell, 1964) and use of a home behavior program (Feldman, Byalick and Rosedale, 1977).…”

“…Several authors have suggested that parents should be involved in shaping educational objectives for exceptional students, be provided with a realistic management plan and be made aware of their children's abilities and assets as well as their disabilities and deficiencies (Brolin and Kokaska, 1979;Gorham, 1977;Feldman et al, 1977).…”

The paper reviews the development of the career education concept generally, and more specifically as related to trainable mentally handicapped individuals. Issues and concerns of direct relevance to this population are discussed.Significant changes in the provision of education for the retarded have taken place in the past two decades, the most notable being the de-institutionalization movement and the provision of free, appropriate public school education for all school age handicapped individuals in the U.S. (Williams, 1981).The career preparation of retarded adolescents has been an area of concern for many years. Work-study programs have become part of many schools' curricula to meet the vocational and community adjustment needs of students preparatory to leaving the school. However, a survey of 2,804 parents and guardians of retarded individuals showed that 84.4070 of severely retarded and 59.8% of moderately retarded persons had never held a job (Ginglend and Carlson, 1977). Stacts (1976) estimated that less than 2% of the handicapped school population is being served by vocational education. These figures illustrate the need for the development of relevant, appropriate programs.It is not sufficient that the mentally retarded simply fade into the ranks of the unskilled and semi-skilled workers; it is important that they become socially and occupationally prepared to function as contributors within the community setting. Career education, taking a broader perspective than does vocational education, is a total educational concept, providing knowledge, skills, and attitudes that students need for the various life roles and settings they will encounter during their lifetimes.

“…In reference to the perceptual &dquo;sharpener,&dquo ;Feldman, Byalick, and Rosedale (1975) and Lillie (1975) also indicated that parents of handicapped children have a tendency to focus almost exclusively on negative aspects of a child's behavior and development. Professionals who effectively communicate and share perceptions with parents can aid them in developing an increased awareness of the child's strengths.…”

The purpose of this study was to provide a review of the literature reflecting parent involvement in the education of the young handicapped child. The impetus for the study resulted from the need to develop and test programs involving parents in the education of their children who were enrolled in a preschool program for handicapped children. This study provides a baseline of information for persons planning, developing, or evaluating programs in this area.

A model interdisciplinary diagnostic and treatment nursery program for developmentally disabled children is objectively described to enable documentation of effectiveness and replication. The major components of the program were the parent-professional partnership and the objective specification by the interdisciplinary team of problems, treatment plan, and treatment methods for each youngster. The concept of efficiency index is used to document and compare program effectiveness for four treatment cases, one of which is presented in detail. Reasons for program effectiveness and potential problem areas are discussed.
