Exit Criteria in Early Childhood Programs for Handicapped Children.

Thurlow, Martha L.; And Others

Journal of the Division for Early Childhood, v11 n2 p118-23 1987

A nationwide survey of preschool programs (N=178) serving handicapped children revealed that approximately half had formal written exit criteria, the most common of which was chronological age. Other factors included formal test results, team staffing decisions, and the child's developmental skill level. Formal written exit criteria differed significantly from informal criteria.
