Programming for the Language Disabled Child: Booklet 1: Identification Procedures.

The booklet contains procedures from Project CHILD for identifying learning disabled (LD) children with language difficulties. Project CHILD is a research effort to validate identification, intervention, and teacher education programs for use with language handicapped children. The booklet gives descriptions of the two recommended screening tests (LD/Screen-Syllabication) and (LD/Screen-Pupil Behavior), instructions for computation of scores and use of an associated grid to determine degree of handicap by relating scores on both tests. Noted are limitations of the test such as the need for each school district to construct its own set of norms. Included are two forms of the LD/Screen-Syllabication test and the checklist LD/Screen-Pupil Behavior checklist. (DB)
