This article suggests that a need exists in schools for the vocational, as well as academic, preparation of students, and that this need is especially prevalent among the handicapped. A rationale is offered for the involvement of the school psychologist in facilitating vocational/career development via the assessment process. Definition and purposes of vocational assessment as they relate to school psychological evaluations also are presented.
