Dyslexia Assessment in Action: Realizing the Power of the Tests of Dyslexia (TOD) and The Write Stuff: Effective Evaluation of Written Language Skills

Complete Attendance not available before workshop starts.

This training will consist of two sessions. The morning session will cover Dyslexia and the afternoon session, will cover Dysgraphia. Descriptions of both follow.

Dyslexia: This session will provide participants a hands-on experience to the Tests of Dyslexia (TOD™), which is the first comprehensive assessment of dyslexia, eliminating the need to use tests from different assessments. Composed of three batteries, including a screener, the TOD includes screening and assessing for dyslexia in people ages 5-89. The TOD also includes rating scales designed to capture qualitative indicators of dyslexia. Most importantly, the TOD includes the Dyslexia Interventions and Recommendations guide to help examiners develop IEPs and targeted intervention plans to address specific skill weaknesses. This session is appropriate for reading specialists, educational diagnosticians, school psychologists, and speech-language pathologists. This session encourages participants to have the TOD kits in the session. In small groups, participants will engage in hands-on activities to discover the potential of each test from the TOD.

Dysgraphia: Evaluation personnel often struggle with interpretation of written language tests beyond just reporting the score. Students with a learning difference in writing may have great ideas but struggle to put them into writing. Come learn the “write stuff” in enhancing your specific learning disability/dysgraphia evaluations. Participants will learn tips and tricks to administering and interpreting the Test of Orthographic Competence-2nd Edition (TOC-2), Test of Handwriting Skills-Revised (THS-R), Test of Written Spelling-Fifth Edition (TWS-5), and the Test of Written Language-Fourth Edition (TOWL-4), and the Oral and Written Language Skills-II (OWLS-II).
