  3. Sounds like you're doing a similar study like I am on different disorders. I'm focusing on service delivery models and you want to basically know similar things. It would be interesting to see the results of that. I'm curious to see what mine bring in the schools too. Are you going to survey or interview or use a questionaire? I'm still looking at those things too. This sounds really interesting, and I can't wait to see what you come up with!
