The Neuropsychology of Reading Disorders: Diagnosis & Intervention

Tuesday, 18 October, 2016

This workshop will examine reading from a brain-based educational perspective, and classify developmental reading disorders into four distinct subtypes. There will be a discussion matching each reading subtype with scores of evidence-based interventions. The use of neuropsychological assessment addressing multiple cognitive constructs including phonological processing, working memory, executive functioning, and orthographical processing will be discussed as the primary means to both assess and remediate learning disorders in children. Lastly, the Feifer Assessment of Reading (FAR) battery, a comprehensive and innovative new reading test designed to examine the underlying cognitive and linguistic processes that supports proficient reading skills, will be introduced to both educators and psychologists.
