ScreenerA ‘screener’ or ‘screening’ typically consists of looking at a group of indications that may
mean that a child is showing signs of being dyslexic. It is not the same as a
dyslexia assessment that will involve thorough investigation of the child’s
cognitive functioning as well as considering various other factors. Screening
can however indicate that a child requires specific help or intervention that
can then be monitored and, if appropriate, full assessment can follow later.
Screening can often be done with groups of children rather than individually. | ||
