During Part 4, participants will explore the various types of data to incorporate into a dyslexia evaluation. Participants will use qualitative and quantitative data and practice interpreting and discussing this information with Section 504 or Admission, Review, or Dismissal (ARD) Committees.
In Part 5, participants will use case studies to analyze student data and decide about a determination of dyslexia.
