The Case against Intelligence Testing in Early Intervention.
Neisworth, John T.; Bagnato, Stephen J.
Topics in Early Childhood Special Education, v12 n1 p1-20 Spr 1992
Major presumptions that underlie the use of early intelligence tests are presented and disputed, centering on the construct of early intelligence, reliability, prediction, standardized administration, professional acceptability, utility for decision making, and congruence with Public Law 99-457. Professional solidarity is urged in opposing the continued use of intelligence testing in early intervention. (Author/JDD)
