Abstract: This guide is designed to assist principals in the supervision of special education programs in their schools. The first of seven papers, by Ann Schnepf and Linda DeClue, offers a general overview of supervisory practices pertaining to special education. Subsequent papers review specific categories of students with disabilities and the supervision of special education programs for those students. They include: "Learning Disabilities" (George Van Horn and Linda DeClue); "Emotional Disabilities" (George Van Horn); "Substantial Disabilities" (George Van Horn); "Physical Disabilities" (Ronald DiOrio); "Communication Disabilities" (L. Annette Carter and Elizabeth McCrea); and "Sensory Disabilities" (Ronald DiOrio). Each paper follows generally the same format, outlining program objectives, components of a quality program, definition of the disabling condition, identifying characteristics, best educational practices in relation to that disability; role of regular and special education teachers, what a principal should look for in a classroom for students with that disability, needs for related services and transportation services, and references. An appendix contains an outline of the key provisions of Public Law 94-142 (the Education for All Handicapped Children Act). (JDD)
