Interdisciplinary services used by public schools.
A questionnaire to survey interagency cooperation was developed and sent to public school educational agencies throughout the country. Respondents included: special education supervisors and principals, school psychologists, and administrators at the local, regional, and state level. It was found that children with specific learning disabilities were referred more frequently than children with mental retardation and identification and assessment were the interdisciplinary services most requested in terms of evaluation and inservice training for public school staffs.
