EAST LANSING, Mich., Aug. 5 (UPI) -- Head Start early education programs were found in a recent study to have an especially good effect for children with disabilities, researchers in Michigan report.
Disabled children enrolled in federal Head Start early school programs fare better on tests of literacy, math and reading than those not in the programs, and are more likely to have their disabilities verified by a doctor, according to a study by Michigan State University.
"These findings align with Head Start's commitment to addressing the complete needs of the child and connecting families to community supports," Kristin Rispoli, an assistant professor at Michigan State University who led the study, said in a press release.
