Assessing for Risk of Dyslexia: A Workshop for Health Professionals

South Africa

The concept of dyslexia is not always well understood and as a result individuals are often overlooked or misdiagnosed. Unfortunately, assessment for risk of dyslexia is a complex process with no single test in existence to support identification.  

To improve the reliability of assessment this workshop will:

• Explain how reading develops
• Explore the underlying cognitive processes and skills required for successful reading
• Discuss the assessment of these skills and the range of tools available to do so
• Examine the interpretation of the results through case studies
