Participants will be offered guidance for conducting a comprehensive, reliable, multi-battery assessment of learning-related cognitive abilities, followed by recommendations for identifying statistically significant strengths and weaknesses. The workshop will also address how to determine when a PSW assessment supports the identification of a SLD. Additionally, there will be a demonstration of Dehn’s PSW software and an interpretation of a case study.

Participants will:

  • Identify the cognitive processes essential for effective learning and the specific areas of academic achievement that rely heavily on these cognitive processes.
  • Describe how to use PSW analysis to identify SLD in a consistent, reliable manner.
  • Reflect on current practices related to SLD determination and consider how these practices may need to be modified to better align with the intentions of the PSW model.
  • Recognize several unique features of Dehn’s PSW model and software.
