Dyslexia is a brain-based learning disability that specifically impairs a person’s ability to read.
Signs of typical reading development and possible indicators of risk for dyslexia.
Studies report fundamental differences in brain development and activation patterns between individuals with dyslexia and those without.
Screening for dyslexia risk should be part of a decision-making framework that answers four fundamental questions.
Classification accuracy is a key characteristic of screening tools. A goal in classification accuracy is to correctly identify issues that result in a later problem and situations in which the scores identify issues that do not result in a later problem.
Sample representativeness is an important piece to consider when evaluating the quality of a screening assessment. If you are trying to determine whether or not the screening tool accurately measures children’s skills, you want to ensure that the sample that is used to validate the tool is representative of your population of interest.
