Parents of Students with Disabilities and Open Enrollment: Characteristics and Reasons for Transfer.

Ysseldyke, James E.

Exceptional Children, v60 n4 p359-72 Feb 1994

This study examined characteristics of students with disabilities who participated in Minnesota's open enrollment, reasons for participation, information sources, and the decision-making process. Surveys of 347 parents revealed 3 primary reasons for transferring their children: special education needs being better met, more personal attention from the teacher, and dissatisfaction with the resident school.
