A New Simplified Preschool Readiness Experimental Screening Scale (The Press)A Preliminary ReportJunior Staff, The Children's Hospital of Akron, Akron, Ohio 44308
The University of Akron, Akron, Ohio 44304 One of the challenges facing physicians today is to detect school learning prob lems as early as possible. As one possible approach, a screening scale was con structed which can be carried out by the physician while doing a physical exam on five-year-olds. This scale, the "Preschool Readiness Experimental Screening Scale," or "PRESS," was administered to 75 children along with a standard preschool readiness test and an IQ test. The results indicate the PRESS is a valid indicator of school readiness and does reflect IQ. The concept of pre school screening by physicians is tenable and we urge further studies in this area.
