Description

A study was conducted to determine the satisfaction of the referral process to an off-site level IV setting located in a suburb in southern Minnesota. Three different groups were either interviewed or provided with an online survey to determine how satisfied they are with the referral process and what changes (if any) need to be made to make the referral process more efficient. The off-site level IV setting serves 6 school districts, which then refer necessary students. The level IV setting provides services to several programs for elementary, junior high and high school students with special education needs. Surveys were created and sent to the districts and the staff at the level IV setting. The special education directors were also interviewed to determine the level of satisfaction. The survey and interview results will be used to assess the referral process forms and guidelines in order to make any necessary changes to meet the satisfaction of the professionals making and receiving the referrals.
