Abstract	This study examined the validity of using teacher-administered educational and intelligence tests to screen students for learning disabilities (LDs). Twenty-seven Technical and Further Education (TAFE) students from regional Victoria who were enrolled in a program that was designed to reconnect school dropouts with education via TAFE participated in the study. The findings from this study provide preliminary evidence for the validity of using the Kaufman Brief Intelligence Test-Second Edition (KBIT-2) and limited evidence for using the Standard Progressive Matrices (SPM) as measures of intelligence for the screening of students with LDs.
