Holistic Inquiry and the Scientific Challenge in Special Education

A Reply to lano

Steven R. Forness

Steven R. Forness is professor of psychiatry and biobehavioral sciences, inpatient school principal, educational psychology chief, and mental retardation/developmental disabilities program director, UCLA Neuropsychiatric Institute and Hospital.

Kenneth A. Kavale

Kenneth A. Kavale is professor and chair, Division of Special Education, The University of Iowa, Iowa City. Their professional interests have included meta-analysis, special education policy, and research practices in learning and behavior disorders.

In his thoughtful article on special education research, Iano (1986) has made several important points. While there is much to agree with in his criticism of scientific inquiry in our field, some points deserve further elaboration; and certain of Iano's solutions may be somewhat premature. This response focuses on theory development and alternatives to current research strategies in special education, along with related improvements in professional status and practice.
