Although schools have always been allowed to use the term ‘dyslexia’, recent guidance and proposed changes to regulations have encouraged schools to use this term in psychoeducational assessments. However, many practitioners lack necessary training to fully assess symptoms and link them to IDEA disability criteria. Within the field, many find themselves struggling to understand when to “test for dyslexia” and when to use this terminology in addition to SLD. This presentation provides participants with an overview of dyslexia, assessment practices to identify dyslexia, examples of how to identify dyslexia in an evaluation report, and intervention recommendations. Through presenting research and legal resources, participants will understand how the terms dyslexia and SLD overlap; how to conduct an assessment for dyslexia incorporating school neuropsychological assessments; and when to report on dyslexia, along with recommendation strategies.
Learning Objectives:
At the end of the session, participants will be able to:
1. This session will help participants explain dyslexia in the context of an SLD evaluation when applicable.
2. This session will assist participants in linking assessment data to interventions for students with dyslexia.
3. The session will teach participants how data-based decision making and legal guidelines for reports fits into the NASP Practice Model.
