Murray, Aja Louise; McKenzie, Karen – Journal of Intellectual & Developmental Disability, 2014
Background: Outcomes for people with an intellectual disability (ID) may differ depending on the severity of the condition. This study evaluated whether a tool used to screen for the presence of ID could also give an early indication of severity, in order to help inform future support needs. Methods: Multicategory receiver operating characteristic…

Dhuey, Elizabeth; Lipscomb, Stephen – Economics of Education Review, 2010
This study extends recent findings of a relationship between the relative age of students among their peers and their probability of disability classification. Using three nationally representative surveys spanning 1988-2004 and grades K-10, we find that an additional month of relative age decreases the likelihood of receiving special education…

Finlayson, Shannon B.; Obrzut, John E. – Psychology in the Schools, 1993
Administered Quick Neurological Screening Test-Revised (QNST-R) to 122 elementary-aged children diagnosed with learning disabilities. QNST-R appeared to measure primarily lower order sensory perception/processing and fine and gross motoric skills, which are thought presumably to serve as basis for later higher order cognitive functions. Age, but…

Darwish, Diane; Hagin, Rosa A. – Learning Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 1995
The Clock Drawing test was administered to 143 regular education students (grades 1-4) to determine approximate grade levels at which skill on the test may be expected and to 30 students with learning disabilities. For the regular children, scores improved most between first and second grade. The disabled children scored significantly lower than…

Sapp, Gary L. – 1984
The Bender Visual Motor Gestalt Test (BG), a test of visual-motor integration, is a screening device used to investigate school-related factors that may produce poor academic achievement and learning disabilities. Because BG test stimuli are not obviously related to classroom content, and because BG scores are frequently offered as evidence of…

Karacostas, Demetra D.; Fisher, Gary L. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1993
Secondary students (88 with learning disabilities and 103 without) completed a substance abuse screening inventory. Of the 30 students who were classified as chemically dependent, 70% were students with learning disabilities. The presence or absence of a learning disability was a better predictor of chemical dependency than gender, ethnicity, age,…

Thirteen teachers rated elementary students (n=30) with learning disabilities and low achievement as having significantly lower social competence and school adjustment than their achieving peers, but teacher ratings of junior high students did not discriminate among groups. Results support use of teacher ratings for initial screening of elementary…
