Article: [senco-forum] [SENco-forum] dyslexia - screening/testing/assessment

Dyslexia as ever is about the discrepancy that is.  It does not matter if
this is High IQ with large disparity or as I have seen recently students who
have been 'labelled' GLD, but which I am certain have dyslexia and/or
sequencing issues.

The difference is that those with GLD may master sequential elements and
improve with more of the same teaching whereas those with SpLD or SpLD as
well, don't.  Both groups improve faster with dyslexia style multi sensory
teaching and the only point at which I agree with Julie is in the constant
daily assessment and monitoring in order to make support more appropriate
and what will be necessary for personalised learning.
