Toward Equalizing EMH Placement for Children with Cultural Differences--An Adaptation of Mercer's System of a Multicultural Pluralistic Approach to the Diagnosis of Mental Retardation.

Hisama, Toshiaki

The paper describes a modified method of J. Mercer's System of Multicultural Pluralistic Assessment, in which only two factors (occupation and dwelling area) are used to assess socioeconomic status as a determiner of expected mean score on an IQ test. For validation, data by Mercer and the author are compared. (Author/SBH)
