我们调查了少数种族/族裔儿童在早期干预和/或儿童早期特殊教育（EC/ECSE）中的比例是否过高以及在多大程度上。我们通过分析参与早期儿童纵向研究出生队列（ECLS-B）的48个月大的婴儿（N= 7，950）的大样本来做到这一点，ECLS-B是2001年在美国出生的儿童的全国代表性数据集。多变量Logistic回归分析表明，男孩（OR=1.66），出生时体重极低（OR=3.98）或先天性异常（OR=2.17），儿童从事外化问题行为（OR=1.10）更有可能在EI/ECSE的代表。来自低社会经济地位家庭的儿童（OR=.48），那些表现出更高的计算能力或接受性语言知识（OR =.96和.76，分别），以及在主要讲英语以外的语言的家庭中长大的儿童（OR=.39）不太可能在EI/ECSE中代表。对这些因素以及一系列与认知和行为功能相关的其他因素进行统计控制表明，在美国，黑人（OR=.24）或亚裔（OR=.32）的48个月大儿童在EI/ECSE中的代表性不成比例地不足。
We investigated whether and to what extent children who are racial/ethnic minorities are disproportionately represented in early intervention and/or early childhood special education (EC/ECSE). We did so by analyzing a large sample of 48-month-olds (N=7,950) participating in the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study-Birth Cohort (ECLS-B), a nationally representative dataset of children born in the U.S. in 2001. Multivariate logistic regression analyses indicate that boys (OR=1.66), children born at very low birthweight (OR=3.98) or with congenital anomalies (OR=2.17), and children engaging in externalizing problem behaviors (OR=1.10) are more likely to be represented in EI/ECSE. Children from low SES households (OR=.48), those displaying greater numeracy or receptive language knowledge (ORs=.96 and .76, respectively), and children being raised in households where a language other than English is primarily spoken (OR=.39) are less likely to be represented in EI/ECSE. Statistical control for these and an extensive set of additional factors related to cognitive and behavioral functioning indicated that 48-month-old children who are Black (OR=.24) or Asian (OR=.32) are disproportionately under-represented in EI/ECSE in the U.S.
