Abstract

James E. Ysseldyke

An overview of findings from a major national six-year study of practices in making referral, classification/placement/eligibility, instructional, and evaluation decisions is provided. This includes the composition and deliberations of placement teams, the relationship between decisions made and how students perform on tests, and the technical adequacy of tests. Implications for practice are drawn.
