This article describes the core of a larger study that examined rural special education service delivery problems as perceived by various personnel within County Boards of Education as opposed to, County Boards of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities within a 12-county area of northwest Ohio. By utilizing instrumentation similar to an earlier national study conducted by Helge (1983), responses were compared between agencies within the 12 counties themselves, as well as, parallel comparisons drawn with national outcomes. Limited access to educational support services, geographic isolation, commuting distance, carreer opportunities, burnout, and scarcity of personnel were identified as problem areas. Recommendations that are low-to-no-cost are provided that address each identified problem area within the 12-county region.

Traditional models designed to provide a continuum of services to handicapped students are inadequate for rural schools attempting to serve students with low-incidence disabilities. Because of the tremendous diversity in rural schools and communities, there is no “one” rural service delivery model. This article delineates factors that must be considered and variables that must be controlled by the rural service delivery model planner. Samples of successful statewide and local district models are described. Each model was designed by manipulation of variables such as staffing, transportation, and governance systems after consideration of district and community characteristics.
