Askins, Billy E.; Cornett, Joe D.

NABE: The Journal for the National Association for Bilingual Education, v10 n1 p37-50 Fall 1985

The low birth weight criterion and other factors used for entry in 1971 into the Responsive Environment Program for Spanish-American Children (RESPAC), yielded predictions of school failure for nearly all RESPAC students. A significant finding of the 10-year follow-up study was that 86 percent of RESPAC students had normal school progress. (JHZ)
