Translating Neuropsychological Reports into Advocacy: Supporting Students with Language-Based Learning Challenges

Description

Join Dr. Brian Willoughby from Achieve New England. Neuropsychological and educational assessments can provide powerful tools for understanding the cognitive and contextual factors contributing to a student's language-based learning challenges. However, bridging the gap between lengthy evaluation reports and well-tailored educational programming can be challenging for advocates, educators, and interventionists. After a brief primer on the foundations of neuropsychological and psycho-educational assessment, participants will learn specific strategies for demystifying assessment reports and gain insight into ways to advocate for implementing evidence-based recommendations.
