Book Description

This training manual was written by one of the Study Groups of the Seventh Institute on Rehabilitation Services in response to the desire of State vocational rehabilitation agencies to better understand behavioral disorders and what this provision means in terms of people to be served. Experience of the program with behavioral disorders had not been great enough at the time the present manual was written to develop, as most IRS manuals do, specific guidelines for identifying and serving individuals with behavioral disorders. However, despite the lack of resolution of this topic, discussion of issues presented in this guide will be of value as the State agencies continue to move to serving larger numbers of those with behavioral disorders.
