ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The papers which are contained in this publication were presented at conferences which were co-sponsored by the President's Committee on Employment of People With Disabilities and the Howard University Research and Training Center. These meetings, which were funded by the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR) and the Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA), include the New Leadership for a New Era National Conference (November 1992) and regional conferences which were part of the short term training project titled, "Embracing Diversity: The Multicultural Rehabilitation Training Model." During 1993, regional conferences were held in a number of areas including Chicago, San Jose, and Los Angeles.

The editors would like to extend their warmest and sincerest appreciation to each of the contributors and to the many national and local rehabilitation, medical, educational, technological, and other service delivery agencies who contributed to the success of these conferences and this publication.

We are grateful to those individuals who worked very hard in the preparation of this publication. Special thanks are given to Mr. George Covington, Disability Advocate; Mr. Claudie Grant of the President's Committee on Employment of People with Disabilities; and Dr. Theda Zawaiza of the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services. Special thanks are also given to Ms. Lucy Wong-Hernandez, Mr. Alan Woo, Ms. Betty Wilson, Ms. Melinda Wilson, and Dr. Carl Flowers for their support; and to Ms. Meselech Haile-Michael, Dr. L. Deno Reed and Mr. Carlyle Mose for their outstanding editorial assistance. We are especially appreciative of the support which we have received from the School of Education at Howard University, the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research and the Rehabilitation Services Administration (of the U.S. Department of Education), the President's Committee on Employment of People with Disabilities, and the University of California at Los Angeles.

This publication is dedicated
to the memory of
