PPD: Project to Publish and Disseminate Booklets on Careersin Science, Math, and Engineering for Students with Disabilities

美国科学促进会（AAAS）正在出版和传播两本小册子，《发现你的未来》和《你在做主》，以激励残疾的预科生和本科生接受科学和工程方面的教育和职业。这些小册子包括选择以科学为基础的职业的理由，并鼓励寻找提供科学和工程课程的高等教育机构。这些小册子包括许多关于入学、入学指导、建立支持服务、与教师互动、辅助技术和职业前科学工作经验的实用建议。这些小册子是1987-89年由美国国家科学基金会（nsf）资助的研究项目的一部分，该项目由美国研究所（AIR）和美国科学促进会（AAAS）进行，旨在研究促进残疾人进入科学、数学和工程领域并取得进步的关键因素。在研究过程中，280名在职科学家、工程师和残疾学生接受了采访。这些小册子的内容是根据这些采访编写的。科学促进会将以吸引人的格式设计和出版这些小册子，并将进行一些编辑，以便立法资料和语言符合1992年的标准。有关小册子供应情况的公告将同时刊登在科学教育和残疾刊物上，并在电子网络上公布。单份副本将与求职信/回函一起分发，以获得反馈。将在适当的会议上分发多份。

The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) is publishing and disseminating two booklets, Find Your Future and You're in Charge, for precollege and undergraduate students with disabilities to motivate them towards education and careers in science and engineering. The booklets include a rationale for choosing a science- based career and encouragement to seek out postsecondary institutions that offer science and engineering curricula. The booklets include much practical advice on admissions, orientation, establishing support services, interaction with faculty, asssistive technology, and pre-career science work experiences. The booklets were developed in 1987-89 as part of an NSF-funded research project conducted by American Institutes of Research (AIR) and AAAS on critical factors contributing to entry and advancement by persons with disabilities in science, mathematics, and engineering fields. In the course of the study, 280 working scientists and engineers and students with disabilities were interviewed. The content of the booklets was developed from these interviews. AAAS will design and publish the booklets in an attractive format and will do some editing so that the legislative information and language meet 1992 standards. Announcements about the availability of the booklets will be placed in both the science education and disability press and announced in electronic networks. Single copies will be distributed with a cover letter/return sheet to obtain feedback. Multiple copies will be distributed at appropriate meetings.
