The Role of Council of Administrators of Special Education

Abstract

This article describes the role of the Council of Administrators of Special Education (CASE) in their support of special education administrators in the context of the aftermath of P. L. 94-142. The forces and factors that are affecting the role incumbent in the special education administrative position are presented in ways in which CASE is attempting to serve its membership in a period of disequilibrium and change. The article is based upon both solicited and unsolicited comments from administrators from around the country. It highlights past and future activities that CASE is seeking to develop and implement in support of leadership persons in delivery of services of all handicapped children in the least restrictive environment.
