Research in Special Education: A Commentary.

Kauffman, James M.

Remedial and Special Education (RASE), v8 n6 p57-62 Nov-Dec 1987

In response to previous articles concerning needs in educational research, the article notes that interventions with handicapped children are inappropriate when based on improbable extrapolations from initial data and when advocates' interpretations are naively literal. Both quantitative research and alternatives (such as qualitative research) are recommended. (DB)
