Instructional materials included in this guide were developed to provide vocational services to mildly handicapped special needs students mainstreamed into regular schools. Material represents strategies or directions in specific areas of occupational education, rather than specific curriculum guides; it is addressed to both the teacher and the student. Five specific areas are covered in the manual: Automotive mechanics, electronic assembly, mechanical assembly, printing, and welding. Related math and vocabulary sections are included. Emphasis is on activities and operations which are concretely and specifically job related. (The manual is intended for use with four other manuals produced by the vocational strategies project.) (TA)
