The Draw A Person: Screening Procedure for Emotional Disturbance (DAP:SPED; Naglieri, 1991) was developed to provide a quick screening measure for the identification of children and adolescents who may have emotional disorders. The present study examined the test-retest reliability and validity of the DAP:SPED with three groups of adolescents: mainstream students, alternate education students, and students manifesting behavior problems. Significant score differences were found only between the regular and the alternate and behavior class students on the DAP:SPED scores. In contrast, significant score differences between all three groups were found on the Devereux Behavior Rating Scale and the Child Behavior Checklist. Test-retest reliability over 23-27 weeks was relatively low. Results of the present study suggest that the DAP:SPED may have limited utility in the identification of adolescents with behavior disorders.
