Using a 1:1 reading assessment is worth the investment! DRA3 provides critical information to cultivate strong literacy skills within your students

Traditional exclusionary disciplinary actions negatively impact all students. Unfortunately, these practices are most often used with students who can least afford to miss out on the instructional process, such as minorities, economically disadvantaged students, and students served in special education. This presentation uses the evaluation of a MTSS program to illustrate a systemic approach to reducing disciplinary actions, including identifying implicit bias, applying restorative justice, and integrating dispositional discipline data in a school’s data-driven decision-making process.  

We will review the history of psychological testing, with a focus on bias and fairness.
 

Connecting the teacher with the reader and using DRA3 to drive reading instruction

In this webinar, Dr. Delis will discuss the challenges of in-person cognitive assessment in the age of COVID-19. He will illustrate a system that he developed and explain the expensive lessons he learned through trial and error during the process.  

Understand the two levels of word reading, the key skills needed for proficient word reading, and why some children struggle in word reading. Discover the difference between phonological awareness tasks and skills and how a WIAT-4 assessment can be used to improve reading evaluations.

To support your growing need for training in the area of remote service delivery, we invite you to join us as we host a panel of SLP experts engaged in telepractice every day. Each panelist will share key lessons learned from their own years of telepractice experience in assessment, intervention, and consultation. A moderated Q&A time will enable attendees to direct questions to each of the panel members. We hope you’ll join us for this interactive and engaging session!
