Handicapped Persons in Wisconsin's Vocational, Technical, and Adult Education Districts: Assessment of Educational Techniques and Identification of Barriers.
Kumar, Vasant
Findings relating to two of Project PEP's objectives are dealt with in this report: (1) to evaluate special needs projects in the areas of agriculture, business, home economics, trades and industry, health, distributive education, and prevocational programs at the sixteen vocational, technical, and adult education (VTAE) schools in Wisconsin to discover which techniques were successful in the instruction of the handicapped, and (2) to analyze and report on the barriers in Wisconsin VTAE schools which prevent the handicapped from enrolling in or completing vocational training programs. (Project PEP--Program Evaluation and Planning--involves evaluating current vocational programs and identifying handicapped students and their vocational needs for the period 1977-1982.) Following the introductory chapter, chapter 2 describes the project methodology, which involved a literature search, site visits to each of the sixteen VTAE districts, and administering the Techniques and Barriers Survey, compiled by the project and including four parts covering personal information, successful teaching techniques, barriers to enrollment in vocational programs, and barriers to completion of vocational programs. The interpretation of the data on personal information, successful teaching techniques, barriers to enrollment in vocational programs, and barriers to completion of vocational programs is presented in chapters 3 through 6 respectively. Chapter 7 contains a summary and a list of recommendations. Nineteen data tables supplement the text. (SH)
