Integrating the WMLS III into a Comprehensive Dyslexia and Dysgraphia Evaluation

Integrating the WMLS III into a Comprehensive Dyslexia and Dysgraphia Evaluation

About the Session:

When conducting a comprehensive evaluation for suspicion of dyslexia and/or dysgraphia, it is imperative multiple sources of data are utilized. In addition to informal data being integrated into the evaluation, evaluators obtain important information from standardized norm-referenced tests. The Woodcock-Munoz Language Survey III (WMLS III) is one such norm-referenced test that includes necessary tests in reading, writing, listening, and speaking. This presentation will provide a brief introduction to the WMLS III and discuss suggestions for integrating the test results with other data sources for a comprehensive evaluation or dyslexia and/or dysgraphia.

Learning Objectives:

• Obtain an understanding of the policy requirements for dyslexia and dysgraphia evaluations
• Gain an understanding of the tests that make up the WMLS III
• Establish an understanding of the use of the WMLS III within a dyslexia and dysgraphia evaluation
