Overview

Dyslexia diagnosis can be complex--it requires careful consideration of the causes, risk factors, correlates, and symptoms that contribute to a dyslexia diagnosis. This session will offer case studies that will help practitioners understand and evaluate factors that should be considered when diagnosing dyslexia, focusing on aspects based on empirical evidence and requiring clinical expertise.
