Abstract
To determine the extent to which University-Affiliated Facilities (UAFs) were directing training activities toward groups other than registered college and university students, data were collected from 23 interdisciplinary centers located in various areas of the country. During a 3-month study period, 822 inservice training programs were conducted involving over 1,100 professionals as presenters and over 23,000 persons as receivers of these inservice activities. Presentations which addressed essentials of appropriate programming for the handicapped occurred most frequently, with parents of handicapped children being a primary audience for these inservice training efforts. Findings also indicated the emergence of a broader professional role for the special educator.
