Dear Educators of Special Children and Rehabilitation Professionals:

When we go for a check up to an Eye Doctor, He puts our face against a machine or flips various lenses in front of each eye asking, "Does this make it clearer or worse?" This metaphor can be easily applied to our purpose of conducting this survey. Planning starts with asking right question. To plan better and to know better what special people want from your experience, we have prepared this survey.

Please be assured that your answers to this survey will be kept confidential with us. Your personal details and answers will not be discolsed to anyone. Please answer the questions on things as they are and NOT as you wish them to be. It will take about 25 Minutes to complete this survey. I thank you for your time and participation in this survey.

Respectfully, Nitika
