This session is designed to spread awareness of common disorders that impact reading. We will define Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) and Dyslexia as distinct conditions and identify the primary difference between a language-based struggle (DLD) and a word-level reading struggle (Dyslexia). Recognize the "Red Flags" and identify common "classroom indicators" for both DLD and Dyslexia in students, specifically focusing on how these struggles manifest in the classroom. Understand how a strong RTI-A system can help you address your concerns and determine when to provide additional support.
