Abstract

The implementation of vocational special needs programs for disadvantaged and handicapped students in Iowa is administered by the Special Needs Section of the Iowa State Department of Public Instruction (DPI). Support for special needs programming is authorized at the federal level by the Vocational Education Act of 1963, amended in 1968, 1972 and 1976. The 1976 Amendments to the Vocational Education Act require a minimum of thirty percent (20% for disadvantaged and 10% for handicapped) of each state's federal vocational allotment to be used for providing vocational education services for disadvantaged and handicapped populations.
