Developmental dyscalculia (DD) is a mathematical learning disability that occurs in around 5%-7% of the population. At present, there are only a handful of screening tools to identify children that might be at risk of developing DD. The present study evaluated the classification accuracy of one such tool: The Numeracy Screener, a 2-min test of…

Deep neural network (DNN) has been widely used in various artificial intelligence applications and is, unsurprisingly, penetrating the field of school psychology. In the school environment, universal screening is used by teachers to identify children's emotional and behavioral risk (EBR) within a screener. EBR can be used to predict possible…

Murray, A. L.; McKenzie, K. – Journal of Intellectual Disability Research, 2014
Background: Severity of intellectual disability (ID) is associated with a range of outcomes for the individual and having an indication of severity can help inform support needs. Previous research has not evaluated whether screening tools can accurately ascertain severity category in addition to providing a red flag for the presence of ID.…

Kamphaus, R. W.; DiStefano, Christine; Dowdy, Erin; Eklund, Katie; Dunn, Alnita Rettig – School Psychology Review, 2010
Universal screening has been routinely advised for determining the presence of problems for initiating problem-solving processes and models. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of two screener development methods on the validity of score inferences for two teacher screeners of child behavioral and emotional risk. The reliability and…

Groff, Martin G.; Hubble, Larry M. – Measurement and Evaluation in Guidance, 1984
Reviews WISC-R factor analytic findings for developing a scheme for regrouping WISC-R subtests, consisting of verbal comprehension and spatial subtests. Subtests comprising these groupings are shown to have more common variance than specific variance and cluster together consistently across the samples of WISC-R scores. (Author/JAC)

Kline, Rex B.; And Others – Assessment, 1994
A profile-matching classification model was constructed and evaluated to extend use of the Personality Inventory for Children as a school assessment screening measure. Overall accuracy of the model with 248 (derivation sample) and 423 (replication sample) children was reasonable, and classification of profiles did not differ by race. (SLD)
