Abstract
A survey, completed in late 1968, to determine certain information on the current status of secondary public school programs of special education for the educable mentally retarded has yielded results which may stimulate thinking in terms of goals and objectives for special educators.

Evidence also seems to suggest that most students are segregated within the schools and receive little or no recognition for program completion.
