Researchers from the University of Oxford work to define dyslexia.
An article from Nature Reviews Psychology describes the push for reforming diagnostic criteria for learning disorders as a result of COVID-19.
I read through all of the test descriptions trying to figure out why my son’s testing doesn’t reflect his struggles in reading. His CTOPP scores were average to above average despite displaying many signs of dyslexia and with a four-generation history of reading problems. His school has told me the CTOPP scores have ruled out dyslexia. My question is can one really rule out dyslexia based on the CTOPP?
LD Navigator is a clinical tool designed for healthcare professionals to help them gain a better understanding of learning disabilities to be used in their practice.
The definition of learning disabilities (LD) and its identification procedures have changed dramatically throughout the years, calling to attention its implications for children with these disabilities.
