Identifying Dyslexia with Confirmatory Latent Profile Analysis
Niileksela, Christopher R.; Templin, Jonathan
Psychology in the Schools, v56 n3 p335-359 Mar 2019
Confirmatory latent profile analysis (CLPA) was used with the normative sample from the "Kaufman Test of Educational Achievement," 3rd ed. (KTEA-3) to determine whether it was possible to identify a latent class of individuals whose scores were consistent with the academic strengths and weaknesses related to dyslexia. The CLPA identified a class of individuals consistent with dyslexia across four-grade level groups (first-second, third-fifth, sixth-eighth, and ninth-twelfth). The results of the CLPA were applied to the KTEA-3 clinical samples of those with known clinical diagnoses. Individuals with Specific Learning Disorder in Reading and/or Written Expression had a higher probability of being in the dyslexia latent class. The use of CLPA as a tool for learning disability diagnosis appears plausible, though much more research is needed. The strengths, limitations, and future directions for the use of CLPA in diagnosis are discussed.
