One of a series of seven modules developed to improve the knowledge and skills of vocational educators who are or will become involved in the instruction of handicapped students in regular (mainstream) classes, this module is intended for inservice training of vocational educators (including administrators, coordinators, counselors, and preservice trainees) working at the secondary level and focuses on developing a general understanding of the goals, components, and approaches used in regular vocational education programs involving the legally blind and partially seeing. Specifically, the purposes are (1) to familiarize vocational educators with particular handicapping conditions of the legally blind and partially seeing including terminology, variations in severity, and differing capabilities of these students (section 1), (2) to outline and discuss plans for individualizing instruction so that it will meet the needs of visually handicapped students and will simplify the educator's task in teaching these students (sections 2 and 3), and (3) to provide vocational educators with resource and referral agencies (State, Federal, private, and nonprofit) and with various publications that can aid them in dealing with visually handicapped students (covered in a separate Resources Section).
