Agreement and Stability of Teacher Rating Scales for Assessing ADHD in Preschoolers.
Loughran, Sandra B.
Early Childhood Education Journal, v30 n4 p247-53 Sum 2003
Investigated the agreement and stability of three teacher rating scales used to assess attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in preschoolers. Found that agreement among the rating scales and interrater agreement between teacher and assistant teacher ratings yielded noticeably stronger correlations at elementary school than at preschool 4 years earlier. Over the 4-year period, there was a significant decrease in the number of children identified as potential ADHD risks. (Author/KB)
