Rafoth, Mary Ann K.

Journal of Learning Disabilities, v21 n3 p186-88 Mar 1988

The validity of using an analysis of patterns of performance on the Meeting Street School Screening test versus using the composite cutoff score for identification of learning disabilities was analyzed for 1,377 first graders. Use of subtest scatter predicted later learning disability placements less accurately than chance. (Author/DB)
