Throughout the online training sessions, we highlighted various screening tools including learner responses and case studies. Each tool was piloted by LBS practitioners and learners. Practitioners and learners offered good insight into the various types of screening tools from the quick screen to more in-depth processes.

The following tools are described in further detail throughout this manual:

• The Washington Screening Test
• The Delta Screening Tool (which is a modified version of the Learning Disabilities Association of Canada "Destination Literacy" developed by Pat Hatt)
• The Adult Learning Disability Screening (ALDS) Tool
• The Cooper Screening Tool.

The above tools were selected for three reasons:

First, they all had sufficient evidence that supported the rating criteria.

Second, together they represent a good cross section of varying types of screening tools for potential learning disabilities.

Third, the pilot participants (including both practitioners and learners) indicated that each tool would be acceptable to use.
