A Longitudinal Study of High-Risk Children: Educational Outcomes.

Egeland, Byron; Abery, Brian

International Journal of Disability, Development and Education, v38 n3 p271-87 1991

Children (n=185) identified as at risk because of poverty were assessed on overall adjustment and academic progress during grades 1-3. Results suggested that excellent decisions were made in terms of who received special educational assistance. There did not appear to be any bias in the referral process. (Author/JDD)
