A Continuous Measure of Growth Outcomes: Will It Do What It Proposes To Do?

Fewell, Rebecca R.

Journal of Early Intervention, v24 n3 p185-87 Sum 2001

This article comments on two studies (EC 629 876) that investigated the validity of a set of 15 general growth outcomes (GGOs) for identifying young children with disabilities. It discusses concerns relating to whether the research is sufficiently meritorious to result in a valid measure of growth outcomes suitable for national use. (Contains 4 references.) (CR)
