The informational inputs of teachers, educational psychologists, and school social workers to the decisions made in special educational placement were first studied separately in order to discover what variables played a part in group decisions about handicapped children. Next, stepwise multiple regression of classroom behavior items, school performance items, child characteristics, and family characteristics yielded 11 items which contributed most to the variance accounted for (r2 = .462). The findings about educational classification of handicapped children supported a multidisciplinary approach to the service delivery issues raised by PL 94-142, the Education for All Handicapped Children Act
