Description:
In this two-hour online learning module, Dr. Louise Spear-Swerling describes the educational profile of a Connecticut public school student identified with SLD/Dyslexia. She reviews family and educator concerns, assessment data, and team decision making, following the student’s trajectory of learning to read from the early elementary grades through high school transition. Participants completing this professional learning opportunity will: summarize the evolution of an individual student’s educational experience from a reading difficulty to a specific learning disability (SLD) to SLD/Dyslexia based on academic data, team decision making, and implementation of Connecticut’s Guidelines for Identifying Children with Learning Disabilities (2010), and; describe the components of this student’s specialized education and the impact of their individualized program on closing their reading achievement gap.
