In this conversation, Dr. Laura Cassidy discusses common myths and misconceptions about dyslexia. She addresses the misconception that more boys than girls have dyslexia, clarifying that the prevalence is equal. She also debunks the myth that dyslexia is simply writing letters backwards, explaining that dyslexia is a difficulty in matching the spoken word to the written word.

In this conversation, Laura Cassidy and Sarah Reling discuss the importance of early screening for dyslexia using the Shaywitz Dyslexia Screener. They explain the difference between screening and testing and highlight the statistical validity of the Shaywitz screener. Sarah, as the senior manager of educational testing at the Dyslexia Resource Center (DRC), shares insights into the testing process at the DRC, including the use of assessments such as the Kauffman Brief Intelligence Test (KBIT), the Comprehensive Test of Phonological Processing (CTOP), the Test of Word Reading Efficiency (TOWRE), and oral reading fluency assessments.
