Administering dyslexia assessments?
We’re here to support you — virtually or in person! A virtual or in-person session will help you uncover nuances of the tests, give you practical tips for administration you can begin using immediately, and provide guidance for scoring of item responses. Need some guidance with administering dyslexia assessments via telepractice? We’re here for you!
Your assessment expert will also review scoring rules in detail to help you fully understand score profiles, item analyses, and interpretation — and how they all play into effective intervention planning.
A process-based and problem-solving approach for reading achievement needs the expertise of many professionals across disciplines and has never been more important.
We are proud to be your partner in literacy achievement!
