The AML, an l 1-item, 3-factor, quick-screening device for early school maladaptation is described. Test reliability data are reported as well as itemitem and item-scale correlations and factor analytic findings. Norms for Kindergarten-3rd grade are presented, and parametric studies are reported for the variables: sex, grade, and "repeat-in-grade" status. Five additional substantive studies, testifying to the concurrent and empirical validity of the scale, are summarized. Limitations in using the AML are considered. Given its brevity and objectivity, its greatest potentials are in mass, quick-screening of early school dysfunction.
