Which newborns in New York City are at risk for special education placement?

D Goldberg, M McLaughlin, M Grossi, A Tytun and S Blum

New York City Department of Health, NY 10013.

In this study of 162 third graders in New York City public schools, we found that slightly over half of the children in special education were males who had Medicaid coverage at birth and mothers with medical conditions or adverse health habits noted on the birth certificate; two thirds of the children with this combination of characteristics actually were placed in special education. These findings suggest that newborns at risk for later learning disabilities can be targeted to receive preventive interventions.
