While Fein's (1974) suggested use of a case study approach in lieu of “statistical procedures” to study the role and function of school psychologists has merit, multiple methods of studying the problem are most desirable. We take issue with Fein's inference that a statistical approach is a “less meaningful” approach and argue against her assertion that our study yielded “very limited results.” Most of Fein's comments seem directed toward “roles and functions of school psychologists” and not our principal focus on administrators' perceptions of and satisfaction with school psychologists.
