Abstract
This paper has three purposes: 1) to bring to the attention of the reader information concerning the incidence of handicapping conditions among Hispanics as found in one state in the Southwest. Texas has a large Hispanic population and a long history of extensive service delivery to the handicapped, and therefore, provides an appropriate setting for such a focus on handicapping conditions among Hispanics. 2) to provide a specific example of the application of a manpower planning model of general interest to educators; and 3) to bring to the attention of the reader the significant manpower needs associated with serving exceptional Hispanics.
