Abstract	Designed to help career counselors and placement center staff at universities and community colleges reduce the impact of the employment barriers facing students with physical disabilities, this manual contains discussions of five career center service areas as well as a rationale for developing special services. The first section presents a profile of disabled students as minority group members and outlines the basic goals of special services and factors affecting their development. Topics discussed in section 2 include developing awareness, detecting negative attitudes, and identifying attitudes in the practices of counselors. After a brief summary of section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, career center accessibility, a model program for students with visual disabilities, and funding and resources are described. Unit 4 contains discussions of employer attitudes, three model programs, facts to use when contacting employers, and compliance with the law. Discussed in the unit on the community are networking, network participants, and various agencies serving disabled students. The final unit presents 10 recommendations for providing specialized information and services to disabled students in accordance with section 504. (MN)
