What statement best indicates a screening tool with high sensitivity?

High sensitivity in a screening tool refers to its ability to correctly identify individuals who do have the condition in question—in this case, a communication disorder. A tool with high sensitivity will minimize false negatives, meaning it won’t overlook many actual cases of the disorder.

Choosing the statement that indicates that all children who failed the screening were found to have a communication disorder illustrates this concept clearly. If every child who did not pass the screening actually has a communication disorder, it reflects that the tool is effectively detecting the presence of the disorder. Therefore, it demonstrates a strong ability to identify those needing further evaluation or intervention, affirming its high sensitivity.

In contrast, other statements may highlight different aspects such as specificity or overall effectiveness, but do not convey the crucial relationship between failure to pass the screening and the presence of a communication disorder as clearly as the selected statement does.
