Description

Prior research has established the statistical significance of several predictors of disproportionate representation of children from certain minority groups in special education programs for students with mental retardation and emotional disturbance (e.g., Finn, 1982; Oswald, Coutinho, Best, & Singh, 1999). The variables investigated thus far can be classified into two broad categories: demographic and economic characteristics of children and/or school districts. Educators have little control over these variables. A significant weakness in the research is the exclusion of variables that are more directly related to special education eligibility decision making and to factors that are alterable through the efforts of educators. In this study, achievement variables were added to the demographic and economic variables used previously in an effort to better understand patterns of disproportionate representation of minority students in special education. Moreover, additional racial/ ethnic groups (i.e., American Indian, Asian/Pacific Islander, and Latino) were added in this analysis as well as the disability category of learning disabilities (LD), the most prevalent of all special education disabilities.
