Learn how to tailor IEPs for your child's success and maximize their learning potential with the comprehensive test of phonological processingContributed by April Rehrig  The CTOPP helps evaluate phonological processing as a prerequisite for reading fluency. This instrument originally published in 1999 was updated in 2013. It’s intended for ages 4:0- 24:11 and takes approximately 40 minutes to complete. Both the CTOPP and the CTOPP-2 are designed to assess phonological awareness, phonological memory, and rapid naming. The CTOPP-2 is commonly used by school psychologists and Speech and Language Therapists for special education assessments. Note, there is no advanced training requirement in the assessment and interpretation of this measure (general and special education teachers may administer this test).

Discover the best books to help individuals with Dyslexia overcome their reading problems.

Honoring African Americans with Dyslexia and other neurodiversity this Black Heritage Month. Black Heritage Month (also known as Black History Month), is a time dedicated to honoring the countless contributions made by African Americans throughout the history of the United States. From slaves brought here in the early 17th century, to the African American trailblazers of today, we celebrate the resilience and determination of a community that has faced and overcome numerous obstacles.
Knowing the difference between learning disability and learning difference in neurodiversity discourse is crucial as one implies a deficit while the other implies diversity. It has been conclusively established that every individual is unique even from birth. That uniqueness follows them through their lives and encompasses many facets that in one form or another contribute to making each of them who they are.
