Abstract	This edition of the newsletter of the National Information Center for Handicapped Children and Youth is intended to help special educators and human service professionals improve the availability of services to handicapped children from minority groups. The first part of the paper focuses on current trends including: (1) the increase in the number of minority children attending U.S. schools; (2) the persistence of poverty in minority communities; (3) the vulnerability of minority children to developing disabilities early in life; and (4) the placement of disproportionate numbers of minority children in special education classes. The second section makes specific suggestions for increasing the number of special education teachers from minority groups; for increasing the sensitivity of special educators to minority concerns, and for enhancing the effectiveness of outreach to minority communities.
