| Abstract: |
Six pages of text highlighting the Federal-State Program of Vocational Rehabilitation for disabled persons in the fiscal years of 1967-71 accompany 32 tables of statistical data. The publication furnishes answers related to the personal and program-associated characteristics of persons rehabilitated under the program. Information for individual States and agencies is shown for fiscal year 1971. Vocational rehabilitation agencies in 50 States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Guam furnished the data which were collected on a basic report form; since three different versions of the form were used during the five-year period, the data, in some instances, either are not entirely comparable from year to year or else are not available for each year. National information is shown for fiscal year 1971 and, wherever possible, for the preceding four years. The State data book, customarily issued following this publication, will not be published for fiscal year 1971; instead, many of the characteristic items are included in this document, including the State ranking table. By request, information is shown for agencies for the blind. (Author/AJ) |
