H different Pace Work and classes in the Special Vocational Education building may go on at a different pace and in a different manner, but the intent of the students - to learn, and the dedication of the teachers is the same one might find anywhere else on campus. The Special Education program works with students who are of the age of most college students but who are termed the slow learners, training them for jobs they can handle. Classes include basic education work in reading, math, and personal adjustment, and work in vocational areas. The vocational classes include work in several areas. One of the vocational areas is in the child care program where Special Ed students learn how to take care of children. Children of staff and faculty members at JCJC send their children there for the day's program. Another class trains students for food service, while another is in domestic service, helping them learn what is expected of them on the job and also how to care for their own homes. One class teaches things one needs to know in building maintenance such as plumbing, patching sheet rock, etc. General Shop instructs in carpentry. Horticulture training in potting, re- planting, and rooting cuttings takes place in the greenhouses behind the main building. In General Arts and Crafts, students learn crafts such as ceramics, rug hooking, sewing, decoupage, macrame and painting for enioyment at the same time they are developing coordination. Last spring some of JCJC's Special Ed students participated in the Special Olympics held on the campus. Twenty students are accepted from each county into the Special Vocational Education program at Jones Jr. College. The program is under the direction of Mr. Lewis Combest. Special Education X Al
