One of 10 documents developed for preschool programs for handicapped children, the manual focuses on the use of parent volunteers (or paraprofessionals) in the classroom. The introduction examines the program's purpose and rationale, provides an overview of the parent volunteer system, and considers recommended setting, and the appropriateness of the parent volunteer system for a given setting. The next section details the steps involved in using the system with subsections on the teacher responsibilities, how to introduce the parent volunteer system, writing the parent participation plan, and the parent training sessions (five times a year). Appendixes include questions (and answers) that parents ask about volunteering, a sample parent orientation session, and sample parent participation plan cards which give the parent specific instructions for the day.
