Position Paper on Use of DIBELS for Diverse Learners
Overview DIBELS are appropriate for all students for whom a goal is learning to read in English with a few exceptions: a) students who are deaf; b) students who have fluency-based speech disabilities, e.g., stuttering, oral apraxia; c) students who are learning to read in a language other than English; d) students with severe disabilities. Students who are deaf. DIBELS were developed based on the research examining the process of learning to read for hearing students. For most students who are deaf, the ability to use phonological representations of letters is seriously compromised (Leybaert & Charlier, 1996; Moores, 1996); therefore the core competencies assessed by DIBELS, phonemic awareness and alphabetic principle, may not apply for students who are deaf and are learning to read.
