This webinar will cover what all of those skills are and provide guidance on which educators and professionals are best equipped to treat each one. Specific strategies will be shared for supporting students who are struggling with visual processing/tracking, word recognition, reading fluency, oral language skills, spelling, writing conventions, and sensory/motor.
