Grade Retention Rates among Students with Learning Disabilities.
McLeskey, James; Grizzle, Kenneth L.
Exceptional Children, v58 n6 p548-54 May 1992
Evaluation of data on 689 Indiana students (ages 6-18) referred and identified as having learning disabilities indicated that 58 percent had been retained before identification, suggesting that retention is being used as remediation before labeling a student. Implications of this practice and alternatives to grade retention are considered. (Author/DB)
