However, since 2007, the Ministry of Education's position has started to change, evidenced by the development of a working definition. In 2021 the Ministry of Education released Three Steps in Screening for Dyslexia (TSSD), an assessment protocol designed to…

Elizabeth L. Kaye; Victor Lozada; Connie Briggs – Literacy Research and Instruction, 2022
This article reports on a study designed to determine if the lowest achieving first-grade students who were identified by their school districts as at-risk for dyslexia can be distinguished from students who have initial reading and writing difficulties but did not present dyslexia characteristics. Thirty-six first-grade students from two…

Lopez-Pedersen, Anita; Mononen, Riikka; Korhonen, Johan; Aunio, Pirjo; Melby-Lervåg, Monica – Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, 2021
This study investigated the psychometric properties of the Early Numeracy Screener. The Early Numeracy Screener is a teacher-administered, paper-and-pencil test measuring counting skills, numerical relational skills, and basic arithmetic skills. Three hundred and sixty-six first graders took the Early Numeracy Screener at the beginning of the…

Fletcher, Jack M.; Francis, David J.; Foorman, Barbara R.; Schatschneider, Christopher – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2021
Many states now mandate early screening for dyslexia, but vary in how they address these mandates. There is confusion about the nature of screening versus diagnostic assessments, risk versus diagnosis, concurrent versus predictive validity, and inattention to indices of classification accuracy as the basis for determining risk. To help define what…

AL-Qadri, Abdo Hasan; Zhao, Wei – South African Journal of Education, 2021
Developmental learning difficulties are among the prevalent exceptionalities school learners have today. In this regard, identification and placement are among the facilitators of later successful intervention for these groups of learners (WestOlatunji, Shure, Pringle, Adams, Lewis & Cholewa, 2010). However, there are not enough resources such…

Melekoglu, Macid Ayhan; Erden, H. Gülsen; Çakiroglu, Orhan – South African Journal of Education, 2021
Efforts to diagnose students with specific learning disabilities (SLD) have increased in recent years in Turkey. However, the limited number of assessment tools used to identify students with SLD is one of the most important concerns in this area, since 8 out of 10 students with SLD have difficulty in reading, which affects other academic areas.…

Vernucci, Santiago; Galli, Juan Ignacio; Andrés, María Laura; Zamora, Eliana Vanesa; Richards, María Marta; Canet-Juric, Lorena; Burin, Débora Inés – Journal of Research in Childhood Education, 2020
The present study analyzes the psychometric properties of a Spanish-adapted version of the Working Memory Rating Scale (WMRS). This instrument allows teachers to perform a screening of children with possible working memory (WM) difficulties, putting them at risk of academic underachievement. A sample of children age 8.5 to 12.33 years old was…

Examination of the Diurnal Assumptions of the Test of Variables of Attention for Elementary Students
Hurford, David P.; Lasater, Kara A.; Erickson, Sara E.; Kiesling, Nicole E. – Journal of Attention Disorders, 2013
Objective: To examine the diurnal assumptions of the Test of Variables of Attention (TOVA). Method: The present study assessed 122 elementary students aged 5.5 to 10.0 years who were randomly assigned to one of four different groups based on time of administration (M-M: Morning-Morning, M-A: Morning-Afternoon, A-M: Afternoon-Morning, and A-A:…

Gregg, Brent A.; Sawyer, Jean – Communication Disorders Quarterly, 2015
The question of what size speech sample is sufficient to accurately identify stuttering and its myriad characteristics is a valid one. Short samples have a risk of over- or underrepresenting disfluency types or characteristics. In recent years, there has been a trend toward using shorter samples because they are less time-consuming for…
