Virginia Wise Berninger

For clinicians and MTSS professionals, the PAL-II evaluates reading, writing, and math related processes to help diagnose dyslexia, dysgraphia, oral and written language learning disability (OWL-LD), and dyscalculia. Both individually-administered assessments link to targeted evidenced-based interventions. The Revised PAL User Guide and newly-updated intervention materials provide evidence-based strategies to create positive learning outcomes for students with reading, writing, and math difficulties. The PAL-II and Revised PAL products are the most current versions of the PAL product suite. <strong><a href="/content/dam/school/global/clinical/us/assets/telepractice/guidance-documents/telepractice-and-intervention.pdf" target="_blank">See our Guidance on using this assessment remotely.</a></strong>
