Does Delayed School Entry Reduce Later Grade Retentions and Use of Special Education Services?

May, Deborah C.; And Others

Remedial and Special Education, v16 n5 p288-94 Sep 1995

This study examined effects of delayed school entry on later elementary school grade retention and special education service rates. Students (n=279) who delayed school entry were most often male and were placed in special education programs in significantly higher proportions than nondelayed-entry students. No significant effect of delayed entry on retention was found. (Author/DB)
