- Abstract:
- The present study was conducted to examine the attitudes of members of the Florida Association of School Psychologists (FASP) who are working in Florida public school systems toward Rule 6A-6.03018, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.), Exceptional Education Eligibility for Students with Specific Learning Disabilities, which redefines the eligibility process for students with a specific learning disability (SLD) in the state of Florida after July 1, 2010. lt was hypothesized that school psychologists who are satisfied in their jobs; have 20 or more in-service training hours in Rtl, or are currently employed in school districts that use Rtl for SLD eligibility determinations would be more accepting of Rule 6A-6.03018, F.A.C., than those who do not meet this criteria. Data was collected by sending 500 surveys to randomly selected Florida school psychologists. Of the 500 surveys, 133 were returned, representing a 27% return rate. Of the 133 returned surveys, approximately 123 were usable. Reliability for the total survey was calculated by using a Cronbach’s Alpha, of which a 0.776 was obtained. One-way ANOVAs were used to determine if there was a difference in the attitudes toward Rule 6A-6.03018 based on current job satisfaction, number of years as a practicing school psychologist, and the school district’s current practices for determining SLD eligibility. A t-test was used to determine if there was a difference in attitude based on amount of in-service training hours in Rtl. No significant differences were found by either the one-way ANOVAs or t-test. Limitations and suggestions for future research are discussed.
