Abstract EN

The aim of this study was to identify the level of school readiness index to predict the developmental learning disabilities amongst kindergarten children in Kuwait in the academic year 2013/2014.

The paper used a sample of 83 children from kindergartens (38 with developmental learning disabilities and 45 normal children).

The paper used (Mohammad, 2005) Preschool Readiness Measurement Tool and (Al-Farrah, 2005) Developmental Learning Disabilities Diagnostic Tool.

Results revealed the presence of significant differences in favor of normal children in terms of school readiness, as well as a statistically significant correlation coefficient of 0.91 between school readiness and developmental learning disabilities.

The ability rate of school readiness to predict developmental learning disabilities was 83.7%.
