Abstract
This article addresses certain personnel preparation factors in special education emanating from a 1984 national study on the Comprehensive System of Personnel Development (CSPD) provisions of PL 94-142. Some findings of the study were: (1) There continues to be shortages of qualified personnel in most categories of special education, particularly at the secondary level; (2) special education teacher attrition continues to be a problem in most of the states; and (3) the majority of the states continue to issue emergency or provisional special education teacher certificates to unqualified personnel as an approach to meeting demand.Keywords
