Using Standardized Psychometric Tests to Identify Learning Disabilities in Students with Sensorineural Hearing Impairments.

Sikora, Darryn M.; Plapinger, Donald S.

Journal of Learning Disabilities, v27 n6 p352-59 Jun-Jul 1994

The use of standardized psychoeducational diagnostic instruments to identify learning disabilities was evaluated with 19 students (ages 7 to 13) with sensorineural hearing impairments. Students with hearing impairment were found to demonstrate learning disabilities with a frequency similar to that found in students with normal hearing, suggesting that standardized instruments are effective for this use.
