[senco-forum] Screening with LASS Secondary

Hi,

We are just about to start screening all our Year 7s for risk of dyslexia
using LASS Secondary. 

I would be interested in hearing how other schools have used the results of
the screening, for example:

Do you go ahead with a diagnostic assessment with those students identified
as at risk?

Do you inform subject teachers of students' strengths and weaknesses such as
visual memory, auditory memory, general non verbal ability, phonological
difficulties, etc?

What sort of programmes have you put in place (or considered) as a result of
screening? I'm thinking about memory booster, etc. but what else is there?

How have you dealt with EAL students?

In short - what do I need to think about?

I'm really keen to hear some comments.

Thanks.
