Has Public Policy Exceeded Our Knowledge Base? This Is a Two-Part Question.

Howell, Kenneth W.; Nelson, Karna L.

Behavioral Disorders, v24 n4 p331-34 Aug 1999

Addresses functional behavioral assessment (FA) concerns within the context of speculation about the possible functions served by mandating the use of FA in 1997 amendments to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. Suggests that the nature of public policy may deserve as much attention as research findings. (Author/CR)
