Dyslexia Foundations & Identification (3 Day Training)

      


Participants will have three full days of Dyslexia training. Participants will have 4 different attendance options: 

Day 1 only - Session #459180- $50
Day 2 only - Session #459182 - $50
Day 3 only - Session #459184 - $50
All 3 days - Session #442338 - $125

Day 1: Participants will gain knowledge of the foundations, characteristics, and screenings for Dyslexia.

Day 2: On day 2, participants will increase their awareness of the critical components necessary to conduct a dyslexia evaluation in compliance with the Texas Dyslexia Handbook. Participants will acquire knowledge and skills in the overall process for assessing dyslexia, including selection of instruments. Case studies will be used to assist in interpretation skills. 

Day 3: Day 3 is a step-by-step test procedure for the administration and scoring of the Comprehensive Test of Phonological Processing-2 (CTOPP-2), Gray Oral Reading Test, Fifth Edition (GORT-5), and Test of Written Spelling-5 (TWS-5). All three assessment measures may be used to assist with the identification of a Specific Learning Disability in Basic Reading and/or Reading Fluency with the condition of dyslexia. Each subtest of the CTOPP-2 will be explained in detail, along with scoring practice for each of the 3 instruments. The TWS-5 uses a dictated-word format to assess spelling skills in school-age children and adolescents. It includes two forms and each form contains 50 spelling words. Guided practice, demonstration, independent practicum, and case studies will be included using all three measures. Special attention will be given to explaining multiple miscue marking systems on the GORT-5.
