Rooney R, Fullagar P, Gallagher JJ. 1993. Distinctive personnel preparation models for Part H: Three case studies. Chapel Hill, NC: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Carolina Institute for Child and Family Policy, Carolina Policy Studies Program, 42 pp.

Annotation: This report reveals strategies for implementing interdisciplinary personnel preparation programs for Part H of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), and discusses barriers to meeting the spirit and intent of the personnel preparation components of the law. Three models of personnel preparation were explored: preservice, inservice and leadership training. For each of the three models, a personnel preparation program was selected for in-depth case study research. The three programs included: a preservice program in a university setting, a statewide outreach and inservice program, and a program representing the joint efforts of an organized parents group and a professional organization. Analysis of case study information yielded recommendations for policies affecting personnel development.
