Description

This course provides both a big-picture view of dyslexia for psychologists as well as advances in science, practice, and situations dyslexic individuals are likely to encounter at school and into adulthood. Brain-based studies of dyslexia and gifted development are discussed as well as how giftedness can impact how dyslexia can present on psychometric tests.  Differentiation, accommodation, and social-emotional issues are discussed.  The presentation also discusses controversies regarding dyslexia definitions, school policies such as RTI and tiered intervention, controversies regarding ability-achievement discrepancy, the evolving research literature on the strengths and talents of dyslexic people, and ways psychologists can advocate for their clients.

For APA credits, the course will be offered at the non-profit SENG. For APA credits, a multiple choice test must be passed at 80% or higher.
