Achievement Test Score Differences for Students with Specific Learning Disabilities: A Replication.

Slate, John R.

B.C. Journal of Special Education, v21 n1 p16-30 1997

Differences between and interrelationships among reading and math achievement test scores for 269 students with learning disabilities were investigated to determine whether previous findings were replicable. Findings supported previous research that showed different achievement tests purporting to measure the same construct did not provide identical results. Diagnostic implications are discussed.
