Difference Scores in the Identification of Children with Learning Disabilities: It's Time To Use a Different Method.
Sternberg, Robert J.; Grigorenko, Elena
Journal of School Psychology, v40 n1 p65-83 Jan-Feb 2002
In this article, ten reasons are identified as to why discrepancy scores (based on differences between IQ and reading achievement scores) provide an inadequate means for identifying children with reading disabilities. It is recommended instead that children be identified simply on the basis of problems in reading skills, regardless of their IQs. (Author)
