Abstrakt: Key elements in providing services to exceptional people are to arouse public awareness to their needs and to provide valid information about them. To enable parents of handicapped individuals and others interested in special education to receive useful printed information, agencies at various levels must cooperate more. This study outlines current cooperative activities among state departments of education and public and private agencies and associations. The results indicate a modest level of joint material development and dissemination practices in the past, but a high level of interest and capability in future cooperative activities. Obstacles to joint ventures are discussed, and examples of possible cooperation are given.
