- Abstract
The article discusses several research papers related to organization, administration, and supervision of special education which were published between 1963 and 1965. In their study of problems peculiar to administrators and supervisors of special education in 13 Western U.S. states, two researchers in 1964 found that administrators and supervisors were concerned with their inability to carry out research. In their summary of the reported special program enrollment of exceptional children in local public schools, two other researchers in 1963 noted an increase of more than 100 percent in the decade 1948-1958. The report of the U.S. President's Panel on Mental Retardation published in 1963, emphasized that a successful national campaign to combat mental retardation must be staged largely at the state level. A researcher in his opinion survey of, college and university heads of departments of special education, state directors of special education, and professors of school administration, found substantial agreement to support the traditional classifications of exceptional pupils identified with special education.
