| Summary: | This report presents baseline data that identifies and describes the policy-related problems confronting State Education Agency Personnel in delivering vocational education to handicapped learners. The first section sets forth these two major objectives of the nationwide study: (1) to develop a survey instrument and techniques for identifying the policy-related problems confronting state directors of vocational and special education, and consultants for vocational special needs education and (2) to identify the major policy-related problem areas and problems. In the second section these research procedures are described: instrumentation (development of an open-ended survey instrument), population determination, data collection, and data analysis. The third section discusses eight identified problem areas (and 248 policy-related problems): interagency cooperation and agreements; funding and fiscal policy; service delivery and program alternatives; personnel preparation; state legislation, plans, and policies; federal legislation and regulations; program evaluation and improvement; and attitudes. Two recommendations are presented which are addressed to policy-making and planning personnel at the federal, state, and local levels: further study of the extent and criticality of each of the areas of concern needs, and continued efforts to provide high quality research, development training, and evaluation projects.
