Using Tests as the Key to Diagnosis and Remediation of Reading Disabilities.

Pittman, Bettie R.

The author argues the value of using both standardized tests and behavioral principles for the indepth diagnosis and remediation of reading disabilities. An illustrative case study is given in which analysis of test results was used to resolve conflicting appraisals of an 11-year-old girl's reading abilities, and behavioral management methods were used to remediate her weak skill areas.
