Evaluating ‘’Specific” Specific Learning Disabilities using a Pattern of Strengths and Weaknesses Model: Dyscalculia
"Dyscalculia" describes students who face difficulties with mathematical calculations, concepts, and applications. In this session, the participants will gain an understanding of typical mathematical development to distinguish it from atypical development. We will use test manuals to improve test selection and interpretation and to help identify skill deficits. We will also use curriculum-based measures to support our testing data, break down skill deficits, and develop impact statements.
What You’ll Learn:
- Typical vs. Atypical Mathematical Development: Distinguish between normal and atypical mathematical growth to accurately identify dyscalculia.
- Improved Test Selection and Interpretation: Utilize test manuals to refine your choice of assessments and enhance your interpretation of results.
- Curriculum-Based Measures: Integrate curriculum-based measures to validate and support your testing data.
- Skill Deficits and Impact Statements: Analyze specific skill deficits and craft impact statements to communicate findings effectively.
