Abstract

In this follow-up to a study conducted in 1977, the 50 state departments of education were resurveyed to determine the availabiltiy of orientation and mobility specialists in the public schools. A definite trend was found toward increasing the availability of these specialists. Although there is still a significant gap between the number of specialists needed and the number of specialists employed, the results are encouraging.
