Description
The increase in dyslexia legislation has resulted in the prevalence of brief behavior rating scales for identifying students at risk for severe reading problems. Are these scales effective in identifying at-risk youth? What are strengths and limitations of these measures? This presentation will provide a review and critical appraisal of brief rating scales and their utility for dyslexia screening. Best practices for using dyslexia screeners within the context of MTSS will also be addressed.
