Dyslexia Assessment and Intervention Course Using Research-Based Tools, Screening Techniques, and Structured Literacy
What you'll learn
Understand dyslexia through research-backed frameworks and identify early indicators across age groups using fast, accurate, and practical screening techniques.
Build comprehensive test batteries measuring phonological awareness, decoding, fluency, and RAN to create precise, reliable dyslexia assessment profiles.
Implement structured literacy strategies using Orton-Gillingham principles to boost decoding, fluency, and spelling skills in daily instructional routines.
Use phonemic awareness tools—minimal pairs, mouth cues, and Elkonin boxes—to strengthen foundational reading skills in children and adolescents.
Apply decoding power-ups, including syllable types, morphology, and high-frequency spelling patterns, to improve automaticity and comprehension.
Design effective fluency-building routines using repeated reading, phrasing, and prosody techniques that support meaningful, measurable reading growth.
Utilize assistive technologies such as TTS, Speech-to-Text, audiobooks, and smart notes to enhance access, participation, and independent learning.
Create MTSS/RtI-aligned intervention plans, monitor progress weekly, and communicate results using parent-friendly reports and actionable recommendations.
