Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Children's performance on screening tests can be influenced by various factors, including their mood and health on the day of the test. This means their performance might not always reflect their true abilities or potential, making choice B correct. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because screening tests are not always accurate reflections of a child's developmental abilities, are not solely sufficient for establishing a diagnosis and treatment guide, and cannot reliably predict long-range academic ability.
