I'm in the very early stages of applying for PhD programs, and am having difficulty finding programs and professors that align with my interest (which I have yet to solidify). I'm interested in exploring the literacy development of students with learning disabilities in inclusive co-taught learning environments.
I initially tried to narrow down the schools to those that only have programs in special education, but I don't want to limit myself to that. Any recommendations on how I can be more productive in my search to find professors and programs that align with my research interest? Is my research interest not specific enough? I feel like I'm dedicating so much time on this, but not getting anywhere with my search. I read up on a bunch of professors, and just get overwhelmed in the end.
Any advice would help!

I'm interested in applying to PhD programs for Fall 2017, and would like to get all the help that I can with my application. I was wondering if anyone has had any luck with application consultants. Thoughts? Recommendations?

Thanks all for your suggestions!! I have taken @cloudyword's advice, and kind of created a document with potential schools, a few professors of interest per school, and a summary of their featured publications.
I've now just been reading publications, and adding them to my document. It's a lot of work, and it takes a lot of time, but I guess that's how you do it! Lately, all I've been thinking about are PhD applications and the GRE. School resumes on Monday. AAAH!!
