Special Education Screening System: Group Achievement Test.

Stone, Brian; And Others

Exceptional Children, v55 n1 p71-75 Sep 1988

Stanford Achievement Test scores of 1,434 elementary-level students already placed in either regular or special education programs were arranged according to four cutoff points: 20th, 15th, 10th, and 5th percentiles. This identification method, setting the cutoff at the 5 percent level, is proposed as a preliminary screening device for special education. (Author/JDD)
