Untangling Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, and DLD

Dyslexia, dysgraphia, and developmental language disorder (DLD) often co-occur—and are often confused. This interactive session helps educators and leaders distinguish between common misconceptions and the key features of each, using engaging simulations and real-world examples. Participants will learn how to interpret screening data to identify where a student is struggling—whether with word recognition, language comprehension, or transcription—and practice applying data-based decision-making to guide next steps for instruction or intervention. Walk away with a clearer understanding of these learning differences and how to better support students with complex literacy needs in your classroom, school, or district.
