• An Integrative Synthesis of Literature on Disproportionality in Special Education (2018, methodology): “When free/reduced-price lunch was used as a measure of individual/family disaggregated SES, studies showed that Black students had elevated risk in high-incidence categories (Bal et al., 2014; Sullivan & Bal, 2013).”
• Are Black Children Disproportionately Overrepresented in Special Education? A Best-Evidence Synthesis (2017, background): “Sullivan and Bal (2013) reported eight logistic regressions including race and control variables but not including individual academic achievement for each of the six disability conditions and for special education generally.”
• Using an Ever–English Learner Framework to Examine Disproportionality in Special Education (2017, background): “One group of studies has analyzed disproportionality among students currently classified as ELs (called current ELs; e.g., Artiles et al., 2005; Sullivan, 2011; Sullivan & Bal, 2013; Wagner et al., 2005).”
• Exclusionary Discipline of Students With Disabilities (2014, background): “Scholars have documented the higher risk of suspension among students with disabilities relative to their nondisabled peers (e.g., Sullivan & Bal, 2013; Vincent et al., 2012; Wagner et al., 2004), but few studies have considered potential within-group disparities in suspension among students with…”
• A Multilevel Analysis of Statewide Disproportionality in Exclusionary Discipline and the Identification of Emotional Disturbance (2019, background): “Collapsing different types of exclusionary disciplinary actions into one dichotomous variable is common in the disproportionality research (e.g., Losen & Gillespie, 2012; Sullivan et al., 2013).”
