Comparative Efficacy of K-ABC Subtests vs. WISC-R Subtests in the Differential Classification of Learning Disabilities.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Glutting, Joseph J.; Bear, George G. – Learning Disability Quarterly, 1989
The study evaluated the utility of Kaufman-Assessment Battery for Children (K-ABC) subtests in differentiating learning-disabled children from students with other handicapping conditions, and compared K-ABC subtests with Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised subtests. Results showed that subtest scores did not enhance differential…
