This paper discusses problems associated with vocational training and job placement by focusing upon the functional relationship between the two. Developing a successful prevocational training program for the severely and profoundly handicapped is contingent upon a precise specification of the long-term objective, job placement. Rather than providing a flexible and general training program that could potentially lead anywhere (and, as a consequence, would probably lead nowhere), this approach specifies the client's next most probable placement as the basis for arranging training. This means that an assessment of the requirements for entry into the next job placement or training program is necessary. The information obtained from this assessment provides a basis for evaluating individual clients' strengths and weaknesses for that particular job. The client assessment, in turn, determines the appropriate prevocational training objectives, which in turn suggest the range of training activities that most probably relate to the targeted job. The paper also describes a procedure employed In a pilot study to assess entry-level requirements of sheltered workshops in the Seattle area. The instrument developed from that study is attached for possible use in other prevocational training programs serving the severely and profoundly handicapped.

This article reports on findings from two studies that examined secondary and transition practices. The first study examined student and program factors that predicted participants' graduation with a standard high school diploma and placement in employment and continuing education. The second study examined participants' perceptions of the program and staff characteristics that were most important in helping them achieve their education and transition goals. Findings from these studies indicate that career-related work experience and completion of student-identified transition goals were highly associated with improved graduation and employment outcomes. Individualization of services around student goals and personalized attention from staff were highly valued by participants. Recommendations for policy and practice are discussed.

Purpose To effectively prepare students to engage in interprofessional practice, a number of Communication Disorders (COMD) programs are designing new courses and creating additional opportunities to develop the interprofessional competencies that will support future student success in health and education-related fields. The ECHO (Educational Community Health Outreach) program is one example of how the Rongxiang Xu College of Health and Human Services at California State University, Los Angeles, has begun to create these opportunities. The ultimate goal of the ECHO project is to increase both access to and continuity of oral health care across communities in the greater Los Angeles area. Method We describe this innovative interdisciplinary training program within the context of current interprofessional education models. First, we describe the program and its development. Second, we describe how COMD students benefit from the training program. Third, we examine how students from other disciplines experience benefits related to interprofessional education and COMD. Fourth, we provide reflections and insights from COMD faculty who participated in the project. Conclusions The ECHO program has great potential for continuing to build innovative clinical training opportunities for students with the inclusion of Child and Family Studies, Public Health, Nursing, and Nutrition departments. These partnerships push beyond the norm of disciplines often used in collaborative efforts in Communication Sciences and Disorders. Additionally, the training students received with ECHO incorporates not only interprofessional education but also relevant and important aspects of diversity and inclusion, as well as strengths-based practices.
