- Description:
- This study examined school social workers' efficacy of service delivery to handicapped and disabled students in public urban school settings. This research effort is based on the premise that the worker's knowledge of the law as well as her participation in the formulation of Individualized Education Plans affects services delivered to handicapped or disabled students. Two independent variables were identified with one dependent variable targeted for investigation. Using a survey instrument created to gather data on three scales, two major social service units in Atlanta, Georgia and the city's surrounding county were asked to participate in the study. Of the 52 potential respondents, 35 participated by completing the questionnaire. Findings suggest that the majority of the distribution for efficacy of service delivery was in the low range. Knowledge of the law and participation on IEP teams were not significantly related to efficacy. Implications for social work practice and future research are discussed.
