Dissertation
Predictive usefulness of the Differential Ability Scales (DAS) for preschoolers' learning difficulties
2000
Overview
The current study provides a literature review concerning the complexities of preschool assessment, the academic difficulties of preschool children experiencing cognitive delays and best practices for early assessment for intervention. This review supports the practice of early assessment in general and the use of Differential Ability Scales (DAS) in specific. Cluster analysis results from the DAS were compared for non-referred and cognitively delayed preschool children. Results indicate distinctive profiles for each group. The DAS discriminant function analysis results demonstrated that 54% of the variance was accounted for by the subtests. Further, confirmative principal component analysis supports the facto:, structure of the DAS. Cluster profiles for preschoolers diagnosed with a cognitive delay were visually compared to DAS profile patterns found in school-aged children diagnosed with learning disabilities. Implications regarding the prediction of school-age learning disabilities from preschool cognitive delay cluster profiles are discussed.
