Skibbe, Lori E.; Bowles, Ryan P.; Goodwin, Sarah; Troia, Gary A.; Konishi, Haruka – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2020
Purpose: The Access to Literacy Assessment System--Phonological Awareness (ATLAS-PA) was developed for use with children with speech and/or language impairment. The subtests (Rhyming, Blending, and Segmenting) are appropriate for children who are 3-7 years of age. ATLAS-PA is composed entirely of receptive items, incorporates individualized levels…

Lori E. Skibbe; Nicholas E. Waters; Ryan P. Bowles – Journal of Research in Reading, 2025
Background: The current study examined whether the home literacy environment (HLE) has the same meaning and predictive value for children with and without speech and/or language impairment. Methods: Parents reported on their HLE for children with typical development (n = 811) and those with speech and/or language impairment (S/LI, n = 235). All…

Clark, D. Angus; Bowles, Ryan P. – Grantee Submission, 2018
In exploratory item factor analysis (IFA), researchers may use model fit statistics and commonly invoked fit thresholds to help determine the dimensionality of an assessment. However, these indices and thresholds may mislead as they were developed in a confirmatory framework for models with continuous, not categorical, indicators. The present…

Clark, D. Angus; Nuttall, Amy K.; Bowles, Ryan P. – Grantee Submission, 2018
Latent change score models (LCS) are conceptually powerful tools for analyzing longitudinal data (McArdle & Hamagami, 2001). However, applications of these models typically include constraints on key parameters over time. Although practically useful, strict invariance over time in these parameters is unlikely in real data. This study…

Clark, D. Angus; Nuttall, Amy K.; Bowles, Ryan P. – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2021
Hybrid autoregressive-latent growth structural equation models for longitudinal data represent a synthesis of the autoregressive and latent growth modeling frameworks. Although these models are conceptually powerful, in practice they may struggle to separate autoregressive and growth-related processes during estimation. This confounding of change…
