title: A guide to the diagnosis of learning disabilities in deaf and hard-of-hearing children and adults.
abstract: This article provides a guide to psychological tests and test procedures recommended for diagnosing learning disabilities in deaf and hard-of-hearing youth and adults. Tests are evaluated relative to their usefulness with deaf and hard-of-hearing persons in school and rehabilitation settings. These data provide the basis for recommendation of a battery of tests for use by school, vocational, and general psychologists in evaluating deaf and hard-of-hearing youth and adults for learning disabilities.
