Cognitive Profiles of Reading Disability: Comparisons of Discrepancy and Low Achievement Profiles.
Fletcher, Jack M.; And Others
Journal of Educational Psychology, v86 n1 p6-23 Mar 1994
To examine the validity of distinguishing children with reading disabilities according to discrepancy and low-achievement definitions, 4 assessments of expected achievement and 2 of actual achievement were obtained for 199 elementary school students. Results do not support the validity of the discrepancy versus the low-achievement definition. (Author/SLD)
