Abstract
The purpose of this study was to conduct ethnographic research on school psychologists and psychometrists, those who evaluate and assist in determining special education services for students suspected of having a disability. Ethnography was chosen as the method of research for this study as the researcher attempted to gain a deep understanding of the people and processes involved in special education delivery. This ethnography examined, described, and interpreted the culture of school psychologists and psychometrists within the Department of Psychological Services in a public school system in an urban area in the Southeastern region of the United States. As a participant observer, the researcher examined school psychologists and psychometrists in their natural environment to gain an understanding of the participants and their lived experiences within their profession.
