Using the Tests of Dyslexia (TOD) to Diagnose Dyslexia and Reading Disorders – CEU

New 4-hour Webinar with NASP CEUs available

Description:
The recently released Tests of Dyslexia (TOD), by Nancy Mather and others, is a very comprehensive battery of individually administered tests of academic skills and cognitive aptitudes that is intended to eliminate the need for cross-battery testing when conducting assessments of students struggling with reading. Dr. Dehn will cover the administration, scoring, and interpretation of the TOD. The focus will be on effective use and interpretation of the TOD when conducting dyslexia and reading disability assessments. An in-depth case study will be included.

Instructor:
Milton J. Dehn, Ed.D., is the Test Development Project Director for Schoolhouse Educational Services. He practiced School Psychology in schools and in private practice for more than 35 years. He was also a School Psychology professor and program director for 13 years at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, where he taught assessment courses. Dr. Dehn is an author and speaker on cognitive assessment, SLD identification, PSW, dyslexia, executive functions, social-emotional learning, and children’s memory problems.
