Hello,
Their isn't that much on computerised screening as far as I can tell.
However their is a feasibility study which was commissioned by the then
Department of Employment into computerised screening in Job Centers. This
contains a litterateur revue, and interview and questionaire studies of
professionals in the field. If you want to get hold of your best bet is
probably the government department in question as there are very few copies
round here and it's a pretty chunky booklet. Here is the reference-
Nicolson R.I., Fawcett A.J., and Miles T.R. (1993). 'Feasibility study
for the development of a computerised screening test for dyslexia in
adults'. Report OL176, Employment Department.
I hope that it is of some help. Good luck, and keep us informed.
