This one-day workshop is designed for educators at any level who want to expand their comfort level interpreting neuropsychological reports, specific to diagnoses related to language-based learning disabilities. The coursework will cover both the cognitive and academic testing utilized to diagnose a LBLD. We will practice interpreting various scores so that participants are able to utilize test results effectively and communicate the relevant findings with confidence.
**Note, this course is not taught by a neuropsychologist who has experience administering the testing. The course is delivered from the prospective of a professional with experience evaluating reports to inform educational decisions.
Upon completion, participants will be able to:
- Describe the purpose of a neuropsychological report and outline the components of the various sections
- Analyze results of each subtest of WISC-5 to understand a student’s cognitive strengths and weaknesses
- Utilize results of the academic achievement testing to understand a students literacy skills needs
- Interpret various reporting of scores (standard, scaled, percentile rank, and grade equivalency scores) and understand how these scores fall within a bell curve
- Identify how the recommendations can be utilized to determine appropriate services
- Educate parents and/or student on the learning profile as reflected in the neuropsych evaluation
