- Describe one tool used to screen for dyslexia. Explain what information this screener can yield, and how it affects classroom intervention instruction.
- Explain how you can collaborate with other professionals (e.g., special education teachers, literacy specialists, service providers,) to use screeners and diagnostic assessments to assess and support the diagnosis of potential literacy issues, including dyslexia.
