This study attempted to extend research on factors affecting acceptance of behavioral interventions and to identify factors involved in acceptance of instructional strategies. A questionnaire was used to survey teachers' acceptability ratings of instructional strategies and behavioral interventions. Teacher ratings of current mainstreaming practices also- were obtained. Results revealed a relation between perceived effectiveness of an intervention and willingness to implement. Questions about the match between perceived effectiveness and empirically supported effectiveness are raised, and directions for future acceptability studies are discussed.
