Artiles, Alfredo J.; Aguirre-Munoz, Zenaida; Abedi, Jamal
Exceptional Children, v64 n4 p543-59 Sum 1998
A study used data from the National Education Longitudinal Study to identify predictors of placement for eighth-grade ethnic-minority students (n=3,439) in learning-disability (LD) programs. Results found that although some factors predicted placement in LD programs for all ethnic groups, placement predictors also varied by student ethnicity. (Author/CR)
