Diagnosing Learning Different
Children
EDUC 5344 - Referral and Testing
There are many reasons why a student might struggle in school. An evaluation is often helpful to
determine if learning, attention, language, emotional, and/or social difficulties are impacting
school performance. This course will provide an overview of the diagnostic criteria for a Language
Disorder, Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, ADHD, and Autism Spectrum Disorder. Participants will be taught
the general guidelines for administering the tests used to evaluate these difficulties, practice
interpreting testing reports, and learn what interventions are most appropriate for each disorder.
Case studies will be presented and reviewed.
Participants must have a bachelor’s degree. Completion of the Diagnosing Learning
Different Children course is part of the degree and licensure/certification plan, but does
not qualify the participant to diagnose without further training.
Screening for Dyslexia
Completion of this course is NOT part of the degree and
licensure/certification plan. It is a separate course offered by Dr.
Laure Ames.
Designed for professionals who are working to identify dyslexia,
including principals, SPED directors, 504 coordinators, curriculum
and instruction coordinators, literacy directors, and dyslexia
