Course Description

Dyslexia.  What is it?  What is the role of the speech language pathologist with respect to identifying, referring, and/or treating clients who have dyslexia or suspected dyslexia?  We had the pleasure of speaking with Alex Loos, M.Ed, A/AOGPE, and learning SO much!  

Alex talks us (and you!) through an informative overview of dyslexia, including early markers in oral language, the importance of early identification, and specific screening tools and skill areas to be aware of as an SLP.   She’ll discuss differences between screening measures and comprehensive assessments, as well as provide specific examples of what features to look for in an intervention approach.  Finally, Alex gives us the deets on considerations for interdisciplinary collaboration with other professionals in the case of a shared client who has dyslexia.

The hour flew by for us, and we’re pretty sure you’ll feel the same way.  Even better, at the end, you’ll probably know quite a bit more about dyslexia than you did before you listened!

    Great Dyslexia Overview

    I've taken some dyslexia courses briefly but feel like I definitely needed a refresher. This did NOT disappoint. Learn about the early signs that are risk factors and what may indicate referring for more comprehensive assessment. Learn what evidenced-based intervention should include for these students once diagnosed. Thankful for this course.

"Thank you for making this excellent, research-based learning opportunity that is both extremely accessible and affordable. This is the best kind of PD: it’s one hour at a time so I can learn and then have time to synthesize and apply. It provides information I can apply to my practice immediately; and I can listen and learn while I drive, fold laundry, etc. thanks for the research and resources!"
