Dyslexia Assessments and Identification

Changes in the law are requiring dyslexia therapists to contribute to full evaluations and the identification of dyslexia. Therapists are now charged with administering tests and contributing to the identification of dyslexia. R.E.A.D. Evaluation and Dyslexia Center is offering a multi-day training of norm-referenced assessments commonly used in identifying dyslexia. This training will equip dyslexia therapists in public school, private school, and private practice with an overview of the characteristics and underlying causes of dyslexia, step-by-step test procedures for administering and scoring specific standardized, norm-referenced tests designed to measure literacy skills formally, and guidance on triangulating the data for decision-making and making recommendations for appropriate intervention.
