Who Becomes an "At-Risk" Student? The Predictive Value of a Kindergarten Screening Battery.

Roth, Maryann; And Others

Exceptional Children, v59 n4 p348-58 Feb 1993

Kindergarten children (n=161) screened with the "Early Prevention of School Failure" (EPSF) measure were examined several years later. Students who had been retained, referred to special education, or placed in special education demonstrated significantly lower EPSF scores. The fine motor and auditory modalities were the most powerful predictors of students' later status. (Author/DB)
