Concurrent Validity of Two Language Screening Tests.

Allen, Doris V.; Bliss, Lynn S.

Journal of Communication Disorders, v20 n4 p305-17 Aug 1987

Decisions based on the Fluharty Preschool Screening Tests and the Northwestern Syntax Screening Test (and their subtests) were compared to a validity criterion of passing or failing the Sequenced Inventory of Communication Development for 182 children aged 36-47 months. Validity differences were found that depended on test and subtest content. (Author/KM)
