    Many students with specific learning disabilities (SLD) remain unidentified in higher education. A 1979 NYU College of Dentistry program accurately identified SLD students using a specialized test battery, improving educational equity.

    Area of Science:

    • Higher Education
    • Learning Disabilities
    • Educational Psychology

    Background:

    • Despite legislation for educational equity, many handicapped students, particularly those with specific learning disabilities (SLD), remain unidentified in higher education.
    • Early identification and support are crucial for academic success and equitable access to educational opportunities for students with SLD.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present the development and results of a classwide screening and testing program for specific learning disabilities (SLD) at New York University College of Dentistry.
    • To identify accepted students at risk for SLD and evaluate the accuracy of the screening process.
    • To provide data for educational implications and program accommodations for students with SLD.

    Main Methods:

    • Implementation of a classwide screening and testing program in 1979.

  • Administration of a two-hour test battery developed by learning disabilities specialists to identify students at risk for SLD.
  • Conducting follow-up in-depth evaluations to confirm screening results.

    • Main Results:

    • The screening program achieved a 90 percent accuracy rate in correctly identifying students with SLD.
    • Analysis of specific test results and comparison with self-report measures were conducted.
    • The study provides data on the effectiveness of a systematic screening approach for SLD in a higher education setting.

    Conclusions:

    • Classwide screening is an effective method for identifying students with specific learning disabilities (SLD) in higher education.
    • Accurate identification facilitates the provision of necessary educational accommodations and support services.
    • The findings support the integration of SLD screening into institutional practices to ensure equitable educational experiences.
