Reminder: Sept. 24 webinar to highlight work of Developmental Language Disorder top scholar

If students are gaining decoding skills and STILL struggling with comprehension, what might be the problem? Join us to learn from a leading scholar about Developmental Language Disorder, or DLD. 

KSDE will host a free webinar with Dr. Tiffany Hogan to teach educators about DLD, 4-5 p.m., on Tuesday, Sept. 24. (registration link below). You will learn what this disorder looks like alongside dyslexia; how it may present without dyslexia; and how we might identify it with our youngest of students and get them the help they need before they struggle with comprehension as they get older.  

There will be a follow-up panel discussion with Dr. Hogan and Kansas educators and specialists, 4-5 p.m., on Oct. 8.  

Click here to register for the Sept. 24 and Oct. 8 sessions.  

These sessions are designed for Pre-K-6 teachers/paraeducators, speech-language pathologists, reading specialists, special education teachers, and school psychologists. Everyone is welcome so please share this information with your colleagues.  

A KSDE certificate of attendance will only be provided for those in attendance for the live sessions on Sept. 24 and/or Oct. 8.  

Contact Dr. Laurie Curtis, lcurtis@ksde.org, or (785) 296-2749 with questions.
