title: Predictions: education of the handicapped.
abstract: Because all changes in our society evolve slowly, we must now begin to develop comprehensive future plans for educating the handicapped. In order for the educational system of the future to meet the needs of society, programs must be designed to accommodate the uniqueness of each student. The system must focus on vocational orientation and realistic preparation for adult living to support the concept that handicapped individuals have a potential for community integration. Comprehensive training, realized through cooperation of schools and ongoing community resources, will prepare the handicapped to take their place in a work force which will need to utilize the potential of every qualified individual available.
