Early Identification of Learning Disabilities: A Comparison of Two Methods.
Horn, Wade F.; O'Donnel, James P.
Journal of Educational Psychology, v76 n6 p1106-18 Dec 1984
An unadjusted low-achievement criterion was compared with a regression-discrepancy criterion for identifying learning disabled children. The use of an unadjusted achievement raw score criterion resulted in misdiagnosing many children as learning disabled, while failing to identify many others. Different sets of predictor variables were associated with these two criteria. (DWH)
