Abstract
The basic assumptions underlying the development of early identification procedures are reviewed. The effectiveness of screening measures designed to identify educationally “at risk” children is critically examined. It is concluded that there is a general lack of evidence for the usefulness of such instruments. The implications of these findings are considered, and an alternative strategy of action based on the use of sequences of educational objectives rather than predictive instruments is proposed.
