Checklists (Delta Screening Tool)
Challenges

If the adult learner appears to have average ability, with no vision or hearing problems, then having trouble with more than one of these items may indicate a learning disability. It is helpful to compare what the learner self-identifies versus what you have observed thus far. The checklists can also be used as a baseline to manage both your observations and the learner's as you begin to assess more in-depth and begin learning activities.
