Method Using a list of keywords, the following databases were searched to locate relevant articles: Academic Search Complete, MEDLINE Complete, EBSCO, CINHAL, PsycInf, and Google Scholar. We restricted our search to include peer-reviewed empirical articles that disaggregated data for children receiving speech and language services. Results The literature search resulted in 6 articles that met the criteria. Additional data were obtained from the National Center for Educational Statistics (NCES). Overall, the literature base is inconclusive though most recent studies report evidence of under-representation of minority children--a finding that challenges long-standing views of minority over-representation. A host of factors contribute to receipt of services include socioeconomic status, school-level demographics, English language proficiency, parent involvement, and access to quality healthcare.

Co-Authors: Faculty: Jacqueline Johnson, Ph.D. Division: Undergraduate Title: Role of Race in Who We Hang Out With Abstract: Race-based homophily has been studied as a measure of self-segregation on college campuses. In this small study I draw on Goffmans theory of homophily: the tendency to hang out with those similar to us, to understand patterns of observed racial segregation in the cafeteria of a private nonsectarian university in the northeast region. After four different days of observation, I found consistent patterns of racially-based homophily in public settings. White and black students were more likely than other groups to sit in with members of their own race. There were some exceptions such as being on a team or affiliated with a Greek organization. Of the groups that had white and minority mixed, a majority of the students in that group were white. The white students more than all other races, sat with other white students. This study reveals that racial self-segregation is commonplace on college campuses and sheds light on the role of race on shaping contemporary social interactions.
