Peer reviewedMaddux, Cleborne D.; And Others – Journal of Special Education, 1983
Twenty-four survey textbooks in special education, published between 1974 and 1982, were analyzed with formulae of R. Flesch to determine readability levels and human interest. Among results are that the texts are dull and difficult but usually complete in coverage, although some handicaps (e.g., severe/profound) receive scant coverage. (Authors)
