McBride, Noelene – Gifted Education International, 1992
An Australian survey found that early childhood teachers were very supportive of early identification of gifted and talented children, though many had only a fuzzy definition of giftedness and suggested teacher observation as the best identification technique. Teachers who had been involved in gifted education recommended more specific…

A discussion of the Retrieval and Acceleration of Promising Young Handicapped and Talented program, shows how one group conceptualized, developed, disseminated, and evaluated this model for identifying and programing for young gifted/talented handicapped children. Five model components are discussed: general programing, talent…

To reduce the possibility that children who do not fit stereotypical profiles of gifted children will be passed over, identifying students from diverse backgrounds for talent should be a multipronged effort. Outreach is especially important in areas when parents may be absorbed in meeting their family's immediate needs. To facilitate…

Peer reviewedVaughn, Sharon; Fuchs, Lynn S. – Learning Disabilities: Research & Practice, 2003
In this introductory article, a response-to-instruction approach to learning disabilities (LD) identification is discussed. An overview of the promise and potential pitfalls of such an approach is provided. Benefits include identification of students based on risk rather than deficit and early identification. Questions concern the integrity of the…

Glascoe, Frances Page – Diagnostique, 1997
In order to locate optimal cutoff scores for detecting developmental delays, the Brigance Screens were administered to 408 children (ages 21-48 months) along with a criterion battery measuring achievement and intelligence. The Receiver Operating Characteristic analyses were then used to locate optical cutoff scores for each form of the Brigance.…

Peer reviewedBarringer, Donald G.; And Others – American Annals of the Deaf, 1993
Analysis of data on 1,404 young children with hearing losses indicated that 80% of the children were identified via informal hearing-screening procedures, such as parental suspicion and referral. Auditory brainstem response technology provided the lowest mean identification age. The study concludes that formal screening programs are not locating…

Peer reviewedSolomon, Richard; And Others – Infants and Young Children, 1994
This article describes community-based developmental assessment (CDA) sites as one means for early identification of infants and toddlers with disabilities. At CDA sites, developmentalists assess referred children for developmental status and serve as liaison between the referring physician and the early intervention system. CDA sites are cost…

Peer reviewedEvans, Henryka M.; Seymour, Philip H. K. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1999
An assessment of foundation processes was administered to 51 Scottish children with reading difficulties and to 56 reading-level-matched controls. Results suggested the foundation is in place by the reading age of 7 years and that foundation-level dyslexia is identifiable in children with reading difficulty whose reading ages fall below this…
