Distinguish them using the mode attribute, and then on
xsl:apply-templates specify which mode you want.

It's hard to say without seeing what other template rules there are, and
how you process the nodes other than this one. One way to do it would be
to use a named template instead:

<xsl:for-each
select="xml/s:Schema/s:ElementType/s:AttributeType[check='true']">
  <xsl:call-template name="check-attribute"/>
</xsl:for-each>
