A survey was sent to 1,153 Indiana special education teachers, special education directors, principals, and parents, and 447 usable responses were received. The purpose of the survey was to describe and assess current service delivery systems within Indiana for children with severe handicaps. Part One of the survey gathered data on: the types of handicaps that students placed in classes for the severely handicapped might have, the setting in which the program is located, the scope of Individualized Education Programs, the number of years of teacher experience, the number of students each teacher serves, the number of students with severe handicaps in classes with nonhandicapped students, and whether the setting is rural or urban. Part Two analyzed specific "best educational practice" information regarding age-appropriate placement with nonhandicapped peers, social integration, curriculum and instruction, home-school partnership, transition planning, related services, and program evaluation. Results of the survey are presented in both text and table formats. Appendices contain a sample of the survey form and a list of survey items organized according to the best educational practice each represents. (JDD)
