A Summer Work Experience Program for Visually Impaired Students

Jane C. Cacich, Thomas G. Dosch

Abstract

The Summer Work Experience Program in St. Paul, Minnesota, is a nine-week evaluation and work-experience program for tenth and eleventh graders. The program consists of two parts: (1) a three-week residential-living experience in which students are evaluated in the areas of daily living, orientation and mobility, socialization, vocational abilities, and career planning and (2) a six-week segment in which students work at paid jobs. Information gained from the program is used for future educational planning and guiding students toward realistic vocational goals.
