The US Office of Education has been involved in the support of educational research related to the handicapped for slightly over ten years. During this period the level of support, breadth of program, and flexibility of funding have consistently and significantly improved. Most important, the role of the US Office of Education has changed from one of passive reaction to the professional community to one of active leadership in the advancement of the field of special education. Programs instituted by the Division of Research within the past year and expanding authority provided by new legislation promise even greater development during the coming years.

Supporting the need for such research, some of the difficulties encountered—the isolation of variables, management techniques, and design—are discussed.
