Summary
- Reading
skills fall along a continuum with no natural cut off to signal a “disability”
- Use
of best practices to prevent and intervene in reading is not common,
complicating the validity of identifying SLD in reading
- The
number of underlying skills that are deficient and the severity of those skill
deficits can help inform the identification process
- Clinical
judgment will be needed, but more informed judgment should lead to more valid
identification
