This is a multi-part course taking a serious deep dive into dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia. We’ll develop a comprehensive understanding of what these learning differences actually are, unpack associated clinical and behavioural profiles, and explore the different ways they can present. We’ll also explore overlap with other neurodevelopmental conditions, discuss patterns of performance and error types on assessment, examine best-practice intervention approaches, and unpack how these conditions translate into the Specific Learning Disorder diagnosis in the DSM-5.

Please note: While we do discuss assessment practices and interpretation, this course does not provide a nuts-and-bolts, rigid ‘how to assess’ formula or discuss interpretation of specific, individual tests at a granular level. The focus is on developing a deeper understanding of these learning conditions from a neurodevelopmental perspective, allowing you to be flexible with your assessment protocols and engage in higher-level integrative interpretation of results. After all, the best assessment tool we have is our own knowledge of the condition we are trying to diagnose!

This series is relevant for psychologists, speech therapists, and educators.
