Early SLD identification and the right kind of help can raise the trajectory of a child's life. This book provides in-depth information to facilitate accurate identification and appropriate intervention to help you help the children in your care. Understand how SLD manifests in academic performance
Learn theory- and research-based approaches to SLD identification

If a child's learning disability is caught early, and the correct type of support is provided, that child gets the chance to develop the skills that lead to achievement in school and beyond. As a high-incidence disorder, SLD affects 10-15 percent of the general population, making successful identification an essential skill for those who work with children. Essentials of Specific Learning Disability Identification provides authoritative guidance and practical methods that can help you start changing children's lives today. From the Back Cover
Neuropsychological testing can identify changes in cognition, behavior, and emotion; aid in determining the cause of a disorder or developmental problem; and assist clinicians in planning treatment and rehabilitation. To use these tests properly, professionals need an authoritative source of advice and guidance on how to administer, score, and interpret them. Now fully revised and in a second edition, Essentials of Neuropsychological Assessment is that source.

As the director of the online psychology degree, I split my time between teaching and administrative duties for the Department of Psychology. At the undergraduate level I teach on average one course in the classroom and 2-3 courses online each semester. At the graduate level, I teach a course focused on best practices for teaching online and all instructors new to teaching online are asked to take this course, including both graduate students and adjuncts. I assist the department chair with administrative tasks related to the online psychology degree program, including the curriculum taught in each class, program assessment, and the development of new courses. Our online program includes several professional experiences for online students to help them be more attractive to graduate programs and future employers. These experiences include: Grading TA (PSYCH 497-01), Instructional TA (PSYCH 497-02), Psychology Tutor (PSYCH 497-03), Research Assistant (PSYCH 498), and Independent Study in the form of hypothesis testing, literature review, and team problem solving options (PSYCH 499). I am also engaged in a line of educational psychology research looking at student performance on proctored vs. non-proctored exams in online courses and the utility and perception of Open Education Resources (OER). 2ff7e9595c
