An Investigation of the Influence of Parents on Teachers' Placement Recommendations for Borderline Handicapped Children Using a Social Power Framework
Abstract
dc:descriptionIn an effort to secure the least restrictive appropriate educational placement for the handicapped, Public Law 94-142 has guaranteed the rights of the handicapped to due process by, among other things, mandating the involvement of parents for all decisions affecting the educational welfare of their handicapped children. Although the legal precedent established by Public Law 94-142 is of monumental significance for the handicapped this aspect of the new law is based on the untested assumption that parents can and do influence decisions. This study attempted to test this assumption.
