Identifying Children with Learning Disabilities: When Is a Discrepancy Severe?

Algozzine, Bob; And Others

Journal of School Psychology, v20 n4 p299-305 Win 1982

A school district made identification decisions for 51 students referred because of academic difficulties; 24 students were learning disabled. The school identification decisions, based on application of a severe discrepancy on the Woodcock-Johnson Psycho-Educational Battery, did not correlate with decisions based on the federal definition of learning disabled.
