Implementing a Prereferral Intervention System: Part II. The Data

This is the second of two articles on the implementation of a prereferral intervention model. The first article provided a rationale and description of the prereferral intervention model as the first phase in the special education services delivery system. In this article, the implementation of the model is described and data are presented on consultation, referral, testing, and placement rates before, during, and after implementation. Issues in implementation, including school system variables and barriers to implementing a consultation model, are also discussed.
