One hundred and one children (ages from 3 to 6 years) in a Head Start program were subjects in a procedure using the average deviation from the child's mean scaled score on the Illinois Test of Psycholinguistic Abilities to determine significant developmental discrepancies. (DB)

Seven discriminant analyses were performed with significant group separation occurring for six of these. Classification analyses indicated that using the 10 major subtests produced accurate classification in approximately 71 percent of cases. Results were discussed in the light of previous research methodologies and the debate as to the…
