Abstract from:
Reaching Consensus about educationally necessary support services: A
qualitative evaluation of VISTA
This article describes a qualitative evaluation of VISTA (Vermont
Interdependent Services Team Approach) based on extensive observations
and interviews. A description of VISTA is provided followed by data
pertaining to three primary evaluation questions:
(a) Does VISTA do what it purports to do?
(b) What impact does VISTA have on team members' practices and
interactions? and
(c) What are the limitations of VISTA and potential improvments from
consumer-based perspectives?
The data and discussion offer the reader insights into VISTA use and
offer suggestions for future research.
