This study
examined effects of delayed school entry on later elementary school
grade retention and special education service rates. Students (n=279)
who delayed school entry were most often male and were placed in
special education programs in significantly higher proportions than
nondelayed-entry students. No significant effect of delayed entry
on retention was found. (Author/DB)
