Literacy Disorders: 'Tricky' Profiles - How to Assess, Interpret and Intervene SASC Authorised

This webinar will look at how multiple deficit models explain variations in the expression of dyslexia and also the high levels of co-occurrence with other deficits (such as problems of maths, attention, oral language and visuomotor skill). Furthermore, multiple deficit models recognise the importance of protective and compensatory factors which can positively influence outcome. The implications for assessment and ‘diagnosis’ of the individual child will be considered; in particular, the need for multiple measures of reading and for assessments of co-occurring difficulties.
