Fluharty Preschool Speech and Language Screening Test: Analysis of Construct Validity.

Simmons, Johnny O.

Journal of Speech and Hearing Disorders, v53 n2 p168-74 May 1988

The Fluharty Preschool Speech and Language Screening Test was examined in terms of construct validity. Analysis of test results for 260 children (ages three to six) found that results for internal consistency, discriminant analysis, and item difficulty analysis raised questions about the usefulness and appropriateness of many test items.
