WHAT IS SCREENING FOR SUCCESS?

What is Screening for Success? The main purpose of the Screening for Success instrument is to identify adults at-risk for learning disabilities. In practical terms, this instrument may serve to help organizations rationalize the need for standardized academic and/or psychoeducational assessments. This instrument may also help guide specialists in their consideration of support strategies and accommodations to best meet an individual’s learning needs.
