Description

The Early Development Instrument, a population-based measure to assess young children's school readiness skills across five developmental domains, was completed on Kindergarten students in a suburban community. This study compares school readiness skills of children with special needs versus children without special needs, as indicated by the presence or absence of an Individualized Education Plan. The goal is to identify predictors of school readiness for the various groups.
