Abstract
As a result of state and federal education requirements, administrators must collect prodigious amounts of information on exceptional pupils and special education programs. Automated information management systems are thought to provide numerous advantages for administrators overloaded by paperwork. The lure of these benefits has caused many special educators to rush headlong to automate the information-management function. Technologically inexperienced administrators, however, have been surprised to find their overly optimistic expectations severely challenged by the realities of automated systems. This paper describes three real advantages and five common misconceptions brought to automating special education information management.
