Bridging the gap between cutting-edge literacy research and day-to-day school practice can feel overwhelming. This self-paced webinar bundle brings together two comprehensive, complementary courses designed to equip school psychologists, evaluators, and literacy specialists with the tools needed to implement Science of Reading (SoR) principles within a Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS).
Rooted in cognitive neuroscience, evidence-based assessment, and legal mandates—and featuring direct insights from the 2025 NYASP Dyslexia Guidance Document—this bundle provides a clear, actionable roadmap for screening, identifying, and supporting students with dyslexia and reading difficulties.
What’s Included in This Bundle?
1. Evaluating for Dyslexia in the Schools: Guidance for Screening, Intervention, and Evaluation
Presented by several members of the original writing team for the February 2025 New York Association of School Psychologists (NYASP) dyslexia guidance document, this foundational course unpacks evidence-based best practices for school-based dyslexia practice.
Core Topics: SoR integration within MTSS, legal mandates and professional standards, tiered interventions targeting specific deficits, and debunking common misconceptions surrounding dyslexia evaluations.
Target Focus: Navigating legal compliance, overcoming systemic barriers, and mastering comprehensive evaluation frameworks.
2. Igniting Change: Implementing Science of Reading-Aligned Assessment and Intervention
This practical, asynchronous course delves deep into the how of reading instruction and assessment, focusing on cognitive neuroscience and the core components of skilled reading to drive student success.
Core Topics: Cognitive neuroscience principles of reading, selecting and interpreting SoR-aligned assessment tools, targeted reading interventions, and leveraging free evidence-based resources.
Target Focus: Connecting cognitive profiles to specific interventions and applying practical, SoR-aligned diagnostic tools.
