This training will equip dyslexia therapists, reading specialists, and educators in public school, private school, and private practice with an overview of the characteristics and underlying causes of dyslexia, step-by-step test procedures for administering and scoring specific standardized, norm-referenced tests designed to measure literacy skills formally.
