Education and Training in Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities, v33 n2 p83-94 Jun 1998
A sample of 150 children referred to child-study teams were administered intelligence tests. One-third of White students and slightly over half of Black and Hispanic students scored in the borderline IQ range (71-85). Of those borderline students who subsequently received special education, the majority were served as learning disabled. (Author/CR)
