We are pleased to announce that we have booked Dawn Flanagan to speak April 18 & 19th 2012 on the topic of learning disability identification and intervention. Dawn Flanagan is the author of the “Essentials of Specific Learning Disability Identification”, and a leader in the use of cross-batttery assessment to identify students’ strengths and weaknesses, and ultimately, pinpoint interventions for LD. This workshop is open to everyone, including those that are not members of MASP, and those that are not school psychologists.

Workshop focus:
This workshop will present the latest research on specific learning disabilities (SLD) in reading, mathematics, writing, and oral language, which provides the foundation for alternative research-based methods or “third-method” approaches to SLD identification. One third-method approach will be described in detail—the Cattell-Horn-Carroll–based operational definition of SLD. This method may be used within the context of an RTI service-delivery model and incorporates multiple data sources and methods for SLD determination. Through case study presentations, participants will learn how to identify individuals with SLD using current theory, research, and methods, with an emphasis on linking assessment findings to evidence-based educational strategies and interventions.

Rates:

Early Bird (we must receive registration and payment by Mar. 23)
MASP Member:     $175
Non-member:        $195
Student:                  $140

Regular (must be received by April 9)
