If students are gaining decoding skills and STILL struggling with comprehension, what might be the problem? Join us to learn from a leading scholar about Developmental Language Disorder, or DLD.
KSDE will host a free webinar with Dr. Tiffany Hogan to teach educators about DLD, 4-5 p.m., on Tuesday, Sept. 24. (registration link below). You will learn what this disorder looks like alongside dyslexia; how it may present without dyslexia; and how we might identify it with our youngest of students and get them the help they need before they struggle with comprehension as they get older.
There will be a follow-up panel discussion with Dr. Hogan and Kansas educators and specialists, 4-5 p.m., on Oct. 8.
Click here to register for the Sept. 24 and Oct. 8 sessions.
These sessions are designed for Pre-K-6 teachers/paraeducators, speech-language pathologists, reading specialists, special education teachers, and school psychologists. Everyone is welcome so please share this information with your colleagues.
A KSDE certificate of attendance will only be provided for those in attendance for the live sessions on Sept. 24 and/or Oct. 8.
