The problem was concerned with determining what skills
were necessary for the employment of the mentally retarded
and what guidelines may be used in developing these skills
in the secondary level industrial arts program. Data were
collected from literature in the field, interviews with
placement officers for the mentally retarded, and through
the utilization of a checklist instrument sent to firms in
the Dallas, Texas area employing the mentally retarded.
The study developed guidelines which should prove useful
to an industrial arts instructor having mentally retarded
students in his classroom. The guidelines were based upon
the results of an industrial survey and available literature.
Chapter I presents the problem and its significance
and limitations, reviews background literature and related
studies, presents basic assumptions and defines terms used
throughout the study. Figures are presented that indicate
that approximately 87 per cent of the presumed mentally
retarded persons in Texas are not being rendered specialized
services, therefore this study assumes them to be either over
age or under public school jurisdiction.
