This study investigated the inservice training needs of professionals working with children with disabilities and their families. One hundred fifteen personnel from public and private agencies assessed their current and future training needs in the areas of typical/atypical development, family systems/family involvement, assessment, program implementation/evaluation, administrative/team process, professional development, and technology. Preferences for the format and timing of training were also identified. Mean ratings for and comparisons between skills identified as more traditional and skills identified as more contemporary are provided. Two grouping factors, role and experience, were used to evaluate the extent to which personnel differed on perceived need for training in each competency area. Results are discussed relative to the extant personnel preparation literature and best practices in inservice training.

Inservice training needs in speech-language pathology were surveyed in two groups: (a) directors of university training programs and (b) supervisors of speech-language services in the schools. Additionally, the number of clock hours of preservice training in basic disorders and information concerning major weaknesses in inservice programs were supplied. Results were related to recent findings of preferences of speech-language pathologists for treatment of speech and language disorders and training needs identified by supervisors of clinical programs. Deficiencies in both preservice and inservice training of fluency disorders appeared to be related to lower preferences of speech-language pathologists to treat these disorders. Characteristics of effective inservice programs to enhance and upgrade speech-language pathologists' knowledge and skills were identified.

The purpose of this study was to determine whether rehabilitation counselors and supervisors had different perceptions of (a) knowledge areas important for rehabilitation counselors, (b) the continuing education needs of rehabilitation counselors, and (c) the preferred methods of providing continuing education for rehabilitation counselors. This study also measured the differential effects of education, sex, and age on the selected knowledge areas, defined needs, and preferred training methods. A Training Needs Survey was administered to all of the counselors and supervisors in three western states. The main finding was that more differences were obtained when counselors were compared by state, than by education, age, or sex. More similarities were found between counselors and supervisors than differences on the important knowledge areas and training needs, however supervisors felt case recording, knowledge of state/federal regulations and case management were more important training needs than did the counselors. Overall, the workshop/seminar was the preferred method of inservice training.
