The early prediction of school learning problems.
The purpose of this research was to determine a reliable and realistic set of variables for teachers to assist in early identification of children with special needs. Sixty-four kindergarten children participated in the study, 32 identified as high achieving and 32 identified as low achieving by their teachers. Variables included were information from questionnaires answered by parents and teachers and results of standardized tests. Based on the results of the analyses, variables and tests are suggested for distinguishing between groups of children who may experience school success or difficulties.
