Effects on first-grade promotion practices of a program for the prevention of learning disabilities

Abstract

The impact upon promotion practices in an inner-city school of a program for the prevention of learning disabilities is examined over a twelve-year period during which the program operated. This preventive approach—a cooperative program of a community school district and a medical center—provided services to identify children vulnerable to learning disabilities, to diagnose the causes of their vulnerabilities, and to intervene educationally in school-based projects. Results of educational intervention are demonstrated in a decrease in nonpromotion rate to 5% or less.
