This manual summarizes technical information regarding the 1982 Stanford Achievement Test, Seventh Edition when administered to hearing-impaired students. In Section 1, the procedures used to select the norming sample (7,557 hearing-impaired students) are described, and the demographic characteristics of the resulting sample are compared to those of the Annual Survey. In Section 2, evidence for the reliability and validity of the test for the hearing-impaired student population is presented, including a discussion of the standard error of measurement and its implications in determining the significance of gains noted in scores from year to year. Section 3 contains a set of norm tables for selected subgroups of the sample, including: regions of the United States (Northeast, Midwest, South, and West); types of educational programs (residential schools, day schools, local schools with hearing students); three levels of hearing loss; students with and without additional impairments; and ethnic groups (White, Black, and Hispanic).
