โฆ Synopsis
Guidelines for designing appropriate screening programs for children at school entrance are discussed. Six guidelines are proposed: Choosing appropriate goals, matching assessment choices to program goals, using psychometrically sound instruments, incorporating findings of research into screening programs, including input from parents and other caregivers and naturalistic observation, and assuring appropriate follow-up assessment is mandated and program evaluation occurs. Each guideline is discussed with attention given to avoiding the pitfalls of inappropriate screenings, which can lead to poor decision making.
