The papers included in this volume grew out of a conference, the Good Teaching Practices Conference for Teachers of Educationally Handicapped Children held in October 1966 in Orinda, California. The conference consisted of approximately thirty workshops which described specific projects and methods of handling children in special classes, along with disability groups new to the public schools. Workshop leaders and paper authors are teachers, who are passing along strategies and techniques that they have found successful in helping these hard to teach children. They are nothing more or less than examples of the way imaginative teachers approach the challenge of the educationally handicapped child.
