Research shows that children who are most likely to be suspended or expelled — children from low - income families, children of color, and children with certain disabilities — are also most likely to benefit from high -
quality early education.10 Children from low - income families and children of color are more likely to experience multiple adverse
childhood experiences (ACES), which can manifest as challenging behaviors that trigger suspensions or expulsions.11 Likewise, young children with language delays or trouble with self - regulation may struggle to verbalize appropriate responses to emotional or physical stimulation, and instead display inappropriate behavior.12 In both cases, appropriate evaluation and
intervention services can help children learn important coping and communication skills.
