Career Education in 1975

Abstract

The new emphasis in American primary and secondary schools on career education has led to a flurry of activity to insure that blind and visually handicapped students have equal access to the growing literature on learning about and preparing for the world of work. Ohio State University and the State of Texas have begun preparing such materials. The American Foundation for the Blind, through its specialist in career education and its Task Force on Career Education, has played an advocacy role in this movement. A mini-project, in progress, is testing the use of career education units in the curricula of six residential schools for the blind.
