Prekindergarten registration for a rural school system in North Carolina. ![]() Subjects were screened using START, and then samples were stratified on the basis of developmental screening results (START in study 1 and the revised Denver Developmental Screening Test and a shortened version of the Minnesota Child Development Inventory in study 2) into subsamples (n = 118 and 120) which were administered the standard criterion test (McCarthy Scales of Children9s Abilities in one cohort and the Stanford-Binet in the other). The objective of the two studies reported here was to examine the ability of this procedure to predict concurrent developmental outcome by using a new simplified scoring system. A brief (8-minute) procedure, now called Simultaneous Technique for Acuity and Readiness Testing or START, has been shown to be efficacious for predicting developmental outcomes and a cost-effective screen for visual acuity.
