Staff Ratios and Allocated Instructional Time for Multihandicapped

Snart, Fern; Hillyard, Alex

Exceptional Children, v51 n4 p289-96 Jan 1985

The study compared amount of instructional time in classrooms for severely multiply handicapped children when student/staff ratios ranged from 10:3 to 5:3. Results suggest a point at which instructional and noninstructional time are approximately equal, at a 2:1 student/staff ratio. Thereafter, gains in instructional time become less pronounced.
