This document discusses various methods for screening, diagnosing, and assessing needs related to dyslexia. It describes several screening tests and checklists that can provide initial indicators of dyslexia. It also discusses standardized tests that can further assess areas like reading, spelling, and working memory. However, it notes limitations of screening tests and standardized assessments, as they only provide snapshots of performance and may not fully capture needs. The document advocates for a more comprehensive needs assessment approach over single diagnostic events. It highlights the role of educational psychologists and mentors in conducting thorough assessments that consider individual needs and contexts rather than just deficits.
