Abstract	The second of five volumes of a report on instructional programs for handicapped children and youth in day and residential facilities, this document describes methodologies and results of the first of four components of the study, a national survey of separate facilities for handicapped children and youth which yielded responses from 1,315 day programs and 626 residential programs (a 75% return rate). This survey provides the first comprehensive national data set of this nature. Detailed information over a wide range of areas is presented for both types of facilities, including administrative characteristics (size, ownership, costs, funding sources, and licensure and certification); staff characteristics (number of staff, professional training of staff, and hours of specialized services provided); characteristics of pupils (numbers of students by type and severity of handicapping conditions, age, gender, and racial/ethnic distribution; living arrangements of day students; and educational, recreational, and other services provided by the facilities. These include on-site and off-site programs for students aged birth through 21 years, student evaluations, services to existing students, and participation in noninstructional activities. Detailed data on entering and exiting students for the full year of 1987 is also provided, as is a longitudinal examination of changes and new roles for separate facilities in the years following the initial implementation of Public Law 94-142 (the Education for All Handicapped Children Act) in 1976. Data is displayed in 102 tables. (JDD)
