State-wide search for special children underway

The Indiana Department of Public Instruction, division of special education, is sponsoring a state-wide project called “Search for Special Children.” It is a search for all handicapped children residing in the state who are not currently receiving a free public education. The project includes a mass-media public awareness program in support of the search. Official starting date for conducting the search was March 31 with completion by May 31. It is being held throughout the state on a county-by-county basis under the direction of county and regional coordinators. Despite the fact that, in 1969, the Indiana general assembly passed a mandatory special education act requiring each local school corporation to provide, by July 1. 1973, educational services for all handicapped children between the ages of six and 18. there are many children today who are still not receiving a free public education within the state. In recognition of this discrepancy, the “Search for Special Children" is being conducted in an effort to identify, locate and evaluate as many of these “unserved” children as possible so that full educational opportunities may be offered these children, regardless of the severity erf their handicaps. These efforts will be supported by a mass-media public awareness program to reach not only parents of handicapped children but those who may be in a position to advise and assist these parents in seeking special education services. The committee is pleased to offer TV and movie star Dick Van Dyke in a unique film presentation for area meeting schedule. The film provides a fast-paced, high-impact look at Indiana’s special children, children with mental and physical handicaps. It is not a sad story. It is an encouraging story of what is being

done and what can be done so that these children can live up to their potential, gain a sense of personal worth and enjoy a full and meaningful life. Offered as a public service by the statepf Indiana, the program is sure to bring a new awareness to audiences who might otherwise never gain exposure into the world of special children.
