"This figure," , said Theodore R. Drain, director of the Division for Exceptional Children, "is an increase of 9,666 over the 1972-73 total; however, the number still represents only -about 37 per cent of the State's estimated number of school-aged children who are either mentally or physically handicapped, learning disabled, emotionally disturbed, speech and-or hearing' impaired, or gifted and talented." Analysis of the data revealed large increases in numbers of children served in several program areas. In the area of learning disabilities, some 8,065 children were enrolled in special programs in 1973-74, an increase of 37.5 per cent over last year, said Drain. Other areas indicating sizable increases included hospitalized-homebound, growing from 1,954 children in 1972-73 to 3,661 in 1973-74, and gifted and talented, moving from 25,490 to 29,815. Special instructional programs also served 2,159 children with emotional handicaps; 39,015 educable mentally retarded; 208 hearing impaired; 28,748 speech impaired; and 3,676 trainable mentally retarded. Only ' two programs showed a decrease in numbers of children served, the crippled and the visually B-.t . .... - MM A FANTASTIC SELECTION OF Kimberly-Clark Products FOR BABY, BATH, OR KITCHEN. . .

Only 756 children were in programs for the crippled in 1973-74, a decrease of 139 as compared to ; 1972-73 enrollment. Services for children with . visual handicaps last year were provided to 558 children as opposed to 1,066 the year befoife. According to Drain, removal., of. architeptural barriers, increased mobility, control of crippling diseases, and more accurate reporting of children needing' the services of a special teacher account for the decreases in these areas. vyC'V v.. The total number of teachers of exceptional children funded by federal, state and local sources was 3,163, an increase of 215 over the 1972-73 school year. Approval by the 1974 General Assembly of an $8.1 million increase in funding for programs for exceptional children is expected to provide services to several .' thousand additional children during the present school year. The State Board of Education has included in its 1975-77 budget request an additional , $45 million to aid local school units in meeting the requirements 01 the Equal Education Opportunities Act which guarantees appropriate education to all children with special needs; The $45 million would provide over 700 . new teaching positions, including 204 in the area of learning disabilities; staff development activities; 110 school psychologist positions; and an increase in the grant-in-aid program for ; trainable mentally retarded children and 1 in the education expense grants available to severely handicapped children whose needs cannot be met in the public schools. in LJ Changes . . .
