Acquire skills to determine how to select, implement and analyze screening, diagnostic and progress monitoring data of learners’ language acquisition and literacy development for instruction. Learn to use appropriate data for accountability purposes, to identify students at risk for specific difficulties and disabilities (such as but not limited to dyslexia and dysgraphia), and to create individualized interventions.
