Note. Logistic regression models were performed using white, female, elementary students in SEELS data as the reference group for all outcomes except counts of total services received. Odds ratio and associated confidence interval are presented for logistic regression models. Multiple regression models were performed for counts of total services received outcomes, and coefficients and associated standard errors are presented. None of the interaction terms were significant and they were not presented here.

^aThree basic services include speech/language therapy, occupational therapy, and behavior management.
