ProQuest LLC, Ed.D. Dissertation, Youngstown State University
The purpose of the current investigation is to examine the attitudes and knowledge of principals toward least restrictive environment (LRE) as it relates to students with disabilities in four counties in Northeast Ohio. The research was conducted using a web-based modified survey that included questions from "The Principals' and Inclusion Survey" (2000), developed by Dr. Cindy L. Praisner, hypothetical scenarios survey developed by Donna M. Power (2007) and 3 opened questions developed by the researcher. The data were collected and analyzed to determine the current perceptions of principals related to their understanding, experience, and placement perceptions regarding students with disabilities and the continuum of services. The survey results indicated that the principals and assistant principals in the surveyed regions reported a positive attitude towards servicing students with disabilities in the general education classroom. There is also a positive correlation between the knowledge score and the years as building administrator and years of general education teaching experience.
