In our ongoing commitment to supporting parents in navigating the educational landscape, we are thrilled to introduce a parent video series, available through extended access of the Strands of Understanding: Weaving in Comprehension & Writing Symposium. This series aims to provide tailored support specifically to parents and guardians.

Understanding the Presentation:

Untangling the Strands: A Parent's Guide to Understanding Assessments for SLD in Reading and Writing offers parents an invaluable resource for understanding the psychoeducational evaluation process, particularly focusing on assessments for Specific Learning Disabilities (SLD) in reading and writing. Dr. Murphy's presentation aims to demystify the evaluation journey, providing clarity on the necessity of assessments and what parents can expect during the process. By exploring key assessment areas and offering insights into commonly used tests, parents will be equipped to actively participate as part of their child’s evaluation team.

Navigating the assessment process can be daunting for parents, yet it is a crucial step in understanding and addressing their child's learning needs. Dr. Murphy's presentation equips parents with the knowledge and tools necessary to actively participate in the evaluation process and advocate effectively for their child.
