Recipients of training in a model vocational program for deaf-blind youth participated in a summer workshop placement. Three deaf-blind teenage students were placed for four to eight weeks in a community-subsidized work program modeled on the Specialized Training Program. All students generalized assembly and self-help skills in which they had been trained, with peer tutor assistance, prior to placement. Their rates of productivity and supervisor contacts were similar to those of other work program employees. The results demonstrate the potential of individualized programming to meet the vocational needs of the adolescent deaf-blind rubella population in existing work programs for the severely handicapped.

During World War II, Raleigh Schorling gave extensively of his time and knowledge to the Training Program of the United States Navy. The idea of a Navy training program was not entirely new. In fact, as far back as World War I, the Navy had instituted a system of Training Course Manuals for use by enlisted men who were striving for promotion in their respective rates. However, the available training courses in all ratings were limited in number and, at the time of Pearl Harbor, considerably outdated. Naval Aviation meanwhile had become a large and extremely important part of the Navy. There were more than 22 regular aviation ratings and 13 specialist designations, but only four training manuals.
