The National Secondary School Survey was conducted to obtain "state-of-the-art" information about service delivery to learning disabled and emotionally disturbed adolescents. Public school teachers in all 50 states returned 1,794 questionnaires regarding their own characteristics and those of their students and educational programs. In this report, the analyses of 754 questionnaires returned by teachers of learning disabled adolescents are presented and discussed and five implications for teacher trainers and inservice directors are identified.
