Risk Assessment in Preschool Children: Research Implications for the Early Detection of Educational Handicaps.
Carran, Deborah T.; Scott, Keith G.
Topics in Early Childhood Special Education, v12 n2 p196-211 Sum 1992

A paradigm shift is recommended, away from longitudinal studies for predictive validity and toward risk analysis and interpretation. (Author/JDD)
