The study's focus is on special education delivery of service guidelines in practice and aims to research the factors that intervention specialists navigate when managing caseloads. Potential contributors to the study include intervention specialists, general education teachers, building administrators, and central office administration. The purpose of the study is to highlight gaps missing from current practices when determining what professional development needs should be taught to new or seasoned teachers to prepare them for the uprise in caseload numbers of students per one intervention specialist teacher. This participatory action research will evaluate teachers' current resources and determine gaps that might be present based on teacher interviews. The research questions this study seeks to address are: How can distribution with special education caseloads be managed equitably given (1) current delivery of service caseloads (2) professional development preparedness for special educators and (3) knowledge of disability diversity. Data collection occurred through interviews with intervention specialist teachers, school principals, a special education coordinator, and the director of student services. The themes associated with the research are caseload distribution, special education professional development, and available resources. Through these findings, the researcher suggested an action plan to develop IEP teams to fulfill the barriers associated with restricting intervention specialists in determining and managing their caseloads as one provider. The research suggested that teams working together will benefit all stakeholders when determining how to best educate students within their least restrictive environment.
