Cross-Battery Assessment Software System (X-BASS)
Understanding the Components of the X-BASS Through the Eyes of the Co-Author - Dr. Dawn Flanagan




A leading research-based method of identifying students with a specific learning disability is the Cross-Battery Assessment Approach (XBA) which is based on the Cattell-Horn-Carroll (C-H-C) theory of cognitive abilities, which specifically looks at students’ patterns of strengths and weakness with regard to specific learning disability identification. The Cross-Battery Approach has been integrated into the Cross-Battery Assessment Software System (X-BASS) allowing school evaluation specialists the ability to analyze data from multiple batteries to assist in determining a pattern of strengths and weaknesses within a student’s cognitive and academic ability profile.
