| Descripción: | In Mexico, students with disabilities can attend to multiple care centers (CAM, in its Spanish acronym) or to some regular schools to receive their basic education. The objective of this study is to identify the influence of the type of school (CAM or regular school) and some socio-economic variables on student academic performance. The work was carried out with five pairs of students with similar disabilities of a CAM and a regular preschool. The Woodcock-Muñoz battery (WMB) was applied to determine the academic performance, an interview with mothers and a classroom observation protocol. We found that the student body of regular schools is younger, descend from less disadvantaged homes and get better scores in the WMB than CAM. |
