Purpose: The purpose of this workshop is help educators, other professionals, and interested parents better understand the results obtained from neuropsychological testing of students with learning difficulties.
Structure: The workshop begins with a very brief introduction to the most relevant brain systems and then a review of our current knowledge about reading, math, and written language disorders. Discussion then moves to the tools and strategies that are used to assess cognitive functions such as language, attention, memory, executive functioning, reasoning, and problem solving — and to the testing of academic skill development. Assessment of the social and emotional issues that often accompany learning difficulties will also be covered briefly. Finally, attention will turn to interpreting neuropsychological reports and the kinds of recommendations they generate. This will be an interactive workshop, and there will be plenty of time for questions and discussion.
