| Abstract: | A systems approach to modifying existing vocational curricula to meet the needs of handicapped learners is presented. The roles of both special and vocational educators at each level of the modification process are discussed, together with the process as it is applied to a component of agricultural education. A significant amount of instructional technology is necessary to successfully integrate many handicapped learners into the regular vocational education environment: vocational education for handicapped persons needs to move from the stage of awareness to that of implementation. |
