Abstract	The purpose of this project was to design and develop simulation materials utilizing vocational situations) in mildly/moderately handicapped young adults. The final product, a set of materials titled "Social Skills on the Job," includes a videotape of 15 lessons, a computer software package, and a teacher's guide, and was marketed to a commercial publisher (American Guidance Service) and made available for sale. Lessons cover such skills as calling in when sick, admitting mistakes, and dealing with criticism from an employer. This report describes the design, development and field testing of the materials, the formative evaluation, the experimental phase, and the summative evaluation. While evaluation data did not show statistically significant differences between two experimental groups and a control group, the complete set of materials was viewed by teachers as highly effective and very relevant in accomplishing objectives. Use of various media in an integrated package was rated very positive by most teachers. Appendices list review board members, present sample materials from "Social Skills on the Job," provide summaries of field test data, and include copies of assessment instruments and tables of supporting data.
