Research concerning the relationship of nonverbal ability measures recommended for hearing impaired (HI) students and learning potential is reviewed. Earlier studies indicate that nonverbal measures can be used to predict academic achievement, while the more recent studies urge caution or suggest questionable predictability when interpreting the data. Recommendations for interpreting and communicating the nonverbal ability results are included.
