Workshop Description
Join us for this dynamic webinar that will outline best practices in both the diagnosis and treatment of literacy disorders. Given new obstacles facing public education with COVID-19 learning loss, it is more critical than ever that school psychologists are up-to-date with best practices to both lead and inform diagnostic discussions and intervention recommendations for students with dyslexia and related literacy disorders.
This webinar will begin with a special session for NHASP members providing an overview of the current status of the organization. The new association strategic plan, association goals, and the association budget will be presented.
