[quote=Anonymous]There are a lot of problems with this report. To start, the study design is questionable. A huge part of the report's conclusions comes from survey results. Tthere are 17,472 students receiving special education services. 4,589 parents were offered the survey. 1,812 students were offered the survey. There was a 10% response rate among parents who were offered the survey and a 3% response rate among students who were offered the survey. Anyone with any basic knowledge of statistics knows they should not be creating graphs based on this information much less drawing conclusions about whether the county is in compliance with IDEA based on this limited information. The other problem is that there are a huge number of parents who have not been able to get IEPs for their children and those families were not included in this study which could skew the results greatly.
