Abstract

The purpose of this study was to describe the implications and impact of impartial due process procedures on planning, programming and staffing by exceptional student education divisions within the Florida school system. A questionnaire was developed by the author, and validated by three directors of exceptional student education. Items for the questionnaire were drawn from the literature related to the effects of P.L. 94-142 on departments of special education. The questionnaire was distributed to the sixty-seven directors of exceptional student education in Florida. There were fifty respondents, or a 75 percent return . Tables were developed to indicate the percentage of responders within each category on the questionnaire. Tables of rank order were developed to detail types of problems encountered by responders, solutions utilized by responders, and particulars of policy changes and staff development plans. In summary, this study provided data which indicated the areas of impact and concern to directors of exceptional student education in Florida. General and specific recommendations for remediation strategies are outlined.
