Abstract
School readiness practices, which include school readiness screenings before school entry, and extra-year school readiness programs for children identified as immature, may interfere with the provision of early intervention services and the inclusion of young children with their peers in kindergarten and 1st grade. This paper examines school readiness practices, some of the assumptions behind the school readiness controversy, the efficacy research on these programs, legal issues related to school readiness practices, and how school readiness practices interfere with early intervention and the inclusion of all children in the schools.
