Special education complaint management: A national profile

Yaryan, Elizabeth C.
Abstract
Special education complaint management is federally mandated with regulations promulgated in the Education Department General Administrative Regulations. Despite these federal regulations, little attention and no research has ever focused on this area. Special education complaint management systems have access to valuable information necessary for thorough compliance monitoring and this information should be used to benefit children requiring special education services.;This study examined special education complaint management systems and complaint issues in each of the 50 states in the United States, the District of Columbia, the territories, and the Department of Defense Schools. State level complaint managers were asked to complete a survey instrument regarding staffing patterns, implementation procedures and practices, complaints and complainants, complaint issues, as well as assistive services available to complainants.;Results of the study show increasing numbers of complaints, issues, record keeping, and information dissemination. Recommendations for technical assistance and future research are provided as they relate to state level special education complaint management.
