Implemetation of the IDEA by School Psychologists: An Exploratory Study Using the Theory of Street-Level Bureaucracy.

Summers, Amy P.; Semrud-Clikeman, Margaret

School Psychology Quarterly, v15 n3 p255-78 Fall 2000

Based on the theory of Street-Level Bureaucracy, this exploratory study examines implementation of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) by school psychologists. Six school psychologists and their supervisors participated. Results show that when school psychologists experience conflict in their work, they develop coping strategies that interact with their professional behavior and implementation of IDEA. (Author/MKA)
