Abstract
A learning disabilities (LD) questionnaire was administered to 150 adults including college and university students, and adults referred to a psychoeducational clinic for assessment or treatment related to LD. Factor analysis supported a one-factor model which included items related to eight indicators of LD. A revised screen was administered to 82 participants representing college, university, and clinic groups with and without LD. Scores on the LD screening test were compared with scores on psychometric tests traditionally used in the assessment of LD. The LD screening test was found to have internal consistency and good test-retest reliability, as well as criterion validity. There was a significant difference in the screen scores between those with and without LD. The screen appears to be effective as an instrument to identify adults who are at risk for LD and should be referred for psychoeducational assessments.
