Diversity Sensitive Disability Evaluations




Diversity Sensitive Disability Evaluations

This course stems from my work in creating guidance for the NYS-DOE culturally and linguistically appropriate disability evaluations framework and is now updated with additional information, research and field recommendations. This course is not only for Speech and Language Pathologists and Psychologists. This course will also give Special Education teachers who conduct disability evaluations insight in interpreting true student ability; general education teachers in understanding differences to take into account before referring, and provide administrators the insight in supporting DEI goals within their departments.

Through participating in this course you will come to really understand what “difference versus disability” means:

Part 1

Learn about the SES, cultural, and linguistic considerations to take into account for accurate referrals and unbiased disability evaluations.

Understand disproportionality and psychometric mismatch. Get tips on updating your MTSS/RtI to be diversity sensitive.

Part 2

Learn about the various tools available for unbiased disability evaluations, including long term and short term dynamic assessments. Get more tips on updating your MTSS/RtI to be diversity sensitive.

Part 3

Join the follow up discussion and get access to a variety of free resources to begin implementation.

Feel free to contact me if you are trying to decide if this course is right for you.

Participants may also receive CTLE and/or CEUs by following the instructions at the end of the course.
