The Dial: Preschool Screening for Learning Problems

Edward M. Docherty, Jr, Ph.D.

Rutgers University

The Development Indicators for the Assessment of Learning (DIAL), a preschool screening instrument, was administered to 436 children aged 3 years-1 month to 5 years-11 months. The results, in terms of the number of children identified as having potential problems, and the organization of the DIAL subscales, supported the use of the DIAL. Several practical limitations to the use of the DIAL are discussed, including the amount of time and personnel required. An experimental social-emotional checklist was found to have little empirical support, and its omission from the screening process is recommended.
