Development of a Plan for Providing Career Information for Handicapped Students. An Analysis of Occupational Descriptions for the Handicapped. Final Report.
Rose, Pearl H.
Information concerning job characteristics and employment skills for the physically handicapped were provided for 227 occupations contained within the Washington Occupational Information Service (WOIS) career information system. For each occupation, an adjunct description was written, including alternative or feasible occupations in each occupational category. The 227 occupations analyzed for the study indicate the feasibility of employing the handicapped as well as the aptitudes needed for handicapped persons to be successful on the job. In conducting the study, a cooperative plan was developed for pre- and posttesting and evaluation. The evaluation concluded that the occupational information is of value and is useful to the physically handicapped; however, an alternative method of access to the WOIS system should be developed. The body of this report comprises nine pages. The remainder of the document are appendixes of materials used in the study. These include Bibliography, FSCC Physically Handicapped Program Description, Summation, Pretest and Posttest, WOIS QUEST Booklet, Software Book (covering the majority of the document and containing information on 227 occupations), Student Interviews Evaluation, Career Counselor Evaluation, Division of Vocational Rehabilitation Evaluation, Washington Occupational Information System Evaluation, and Occupations Accidentally Omitted--Not in WOIS Computer.
