| Understood @UnderstoodOrg If you're just beginning to learn about #dyslexia, here's a great resource to get you started. https://t.co/z457yAzoMg #ldchat |
| Jenn Osen-Foss @UnderstoodJennO A1: At our HS, we've been looking at decoding skills to identify students that would benefit from further intervention. We have several students that are showing signs of #dyslexia. #LDchat |
| Kristin Kane @KristinMatzKane A1 Family history is so relevant. It tipped the scales for our family when putting the pieces together. #ldchat |

| Katie Shaffer @Katiejoshaffer A1 In Missouri schools, we have never identified dyslexia, only specific learning disability in area of reading. This will be changing effective 2018-2019 school year. Eager to hear your responses #LDchat #edu5213SBU |
| Kristin Kane @KristinMatzKane @UnderstoodJennO Yes pulling apart words in the sounds that make them up is a struggle. #ldchat |

| Edie Brown @edielovesmath @UnderstoodOrg A1 The latest research shows that preschool students should be the focus for reading problems. My older students have a more difficult time. Diagnose through expressive processes. Use comprehension assessments that extend beyond phonological processing. #LDchat |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Review these common signs of #dyslexia among kids in preschool through high school. https://t.co/y1MIj7aQ5a #ldchat |
| Jenn Osen-Foss @UnderstoodJennO @KristinMatzKane Yes. Multiple family members have been diagnosed with #Dyslexia in my family. It helped other family members understand what is going on. #ldchat |

| Understood @UnderstoodOrg RT @KristinMatzKane: A1 Get familiar with the longer list of signs and compare to your child, because usually it’s combo of characteristics. #ldchat |
| Jenn Osen-Foss @UnderstoodJennO @KristinMatzKane Exactly. We saw definite issues with nonsense words. #ldchat |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Let's move onto Q2... #ldchat |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Q2. When a parent or teacher first notices signs of #dyslexia in her child or student, what are the initial steps she should take to seek help? #ldchat https://t.co/8jPSpXZYxV |
| Kristin Kane @KristinMatzKane it really helped us put the pieces of the puzzle together when my son was young. #ldchat https://t.co/ZVElEDFzES |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg @Terri38876635 We're actually going to be discussing AT in just a bit. #ldchat |
| Jenn Osen-Foss @UnderstoodJennO @edielovesmath @UnderstoodOrg I'm glad that awareness is building for early intervention. It's high time that we utilize early intervention! #ldchat |
| Kristin Kane @KristinMatzKane A2 Talk to your child’s teacher and follow up with an email with your concerns. #ldchat |
| Kristin Kane @KristinMatzKane RT @UnderstoodOrg: @Terri38876635 We're actually going to be discussing AT in just a bit. #ldchat |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg RT @KristinMatzKane: A2 Talk to your child’s teacher and follow up with an email with your concerns. #ldchat |
| Kristin Kane @KristinMatzKane A2 if Special Education services are needed request an evaluation, and look at eligibility for services through the school #ldchat |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg RT @KristinMatzKane: A2 if Special Education services are needed request an evaluation, and look at eligibility for services through the school #ldchat |
| Jenn Osen-Foss @UnderstoodJennO A2: Bring it up to the child's community (teacher, parent, and school support should know). Work together to come up with a plan, and keep records of everything. Follow up with the team on any decisions. #LDchat |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Here are 9 steps to follow if you suspect your child might have #dyslexia. https://t.co/EtsSunmrMO #ldchat |

| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Curious to know what happens during a #dyslexia evaluation? We're giving you an exclusive look. https://t.co/WpZw8DwLpu #ldchat |
| Edie Brown @edielovesmath @UnderstoodOrg A2 Older kids with ADHD and LD have a tougher time being diagnosed with Dyslexia.. They're older so they've gone a long way with a hidden disability. My students typically just get extended time. #LDchat https://t.co/CPuyKOinEu |

| Katie Shaffer @Katiejoshaffer A2: Discuss with teacher. If the teacher shares the concerns, differentiated instruction/Tier 1 intervention will start. If concerns still there, a reading specialist may be consulted or a meeting will be held to see if Special Education testing is warranted #LDchat #edu5213SBU |
| Jenn Osen-Foss @UnderstoodJennO @edielovesmath @UnderstoodOrg And they've developed coping strategies to navigate school that aren't necessarily effective. #ldchat |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg @UnderstoodJennO @edielovesmath So what are the most effective ways of helping them at this stage of their education? #ldchat |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Tests for #dyslexia look at skills like decoding and reading comprehension. https://t.co/gGQtcVvcfK #ldchat |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Moving onto Q3... #ldchat |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Q3. What are some examples of classroom accommodations and assistive technologies for kids with #dyslexia, and why are they good options? #ldchat https://t.co/x6WrMJvh2A |
 | Amanda Sauer @AmandaSauerEdu RT @UnderstoodOrg: Review these common signs of #dyslexia among kids in preschool through high school. https://t.co/y1MIj7aQ5a #ldchat |
| Kristin Kane @KristinMatzKane @UnderstoodOrg @UnderstoodJennO @edielovesmath I would look to accommodations and AT, while continue to explore appropriate intervention. #ldchat |

| Jenn Osen-Foss @UnderstoodJennO @UnderstoodOrg @edielovesmath It's hard. We're doing targeted reading interventions this year. I've also accompanied some staff to LETRS training last week, and we're working with literacy consultants to build individualized curriculum. #ldchat |
| Amanda Sauer @AmandaSauerEdu RT @Dale_Chu: HAPPENING NOW: HAPPENING NOW: @UnderstoodOrg and @KristinMatzKane hosting a discussion on #dyslexia. Follow along at #LDchat! @peatctweet @DDNJ12 |
| Edie Brown @edielovesmath @UnderstoodOrg @UnderstoodJennO Older students with dyslexia prefer assistive technology (AT). Less likely to stick out. #LDchat |
| Kristin Kane @KristinMatzKane @UnderstoodOrg A3 Accommodations and AT are #Gamechangers #ldchat |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg @edielovesmath @UnderstoodJennO Any particular AT or apps among the favorites? #ldchat |

| Bookshare @Bookshare @UnderstoodOrg A3 Bookshare is an ebook library that makes reading easier for children with reading barriers like dyslexia. Membership is free for qualified U.S. students and schools. Formats like audio + highlighted text are available. https://t.co/Qn5WrclM5i #ldchat |
| Jenn Osen-Foss @UnderstoodJennO A3: We also find using video (flipping the classroom), audio recording, providing notes ahead of time, and alternate forms of assessment are very useful at the HS. #ldchat |
| Jenn Osen-Foss @UnderstoodJennO A3: By the time Ss are in secondary levels, accommodations are life savers. Spell-check, text <-> speech technology, scaffolded materials, and extra time are all some examples. #LDchat |
| Katie Shaffer @Katiejoshaffer Google Read and Write is an awesome tool. #LDchat #edu5213SBU |
| Kristin Kane @KristinMatzKane A3 Seek out from experts like @ATDyslexia @bookshare @learning_ally #ldchat |
 | Caroline Craig @ccmmz @UnderstoodOrg A3 #ldchat text to speech and dictation asst tech is a huge help with productivity and self-esteem. But our experience is classroom teachers unable/unwilling to incorporate. |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg RT @UnderstoodJennO: A3: A3: By the time Ss are in secondary levels, accommodations are life savers. Spell-check, text <-> speech technology, scaffolded materials, and extra time are all some examples. #LDchat |
| Edie Brown @edielovesmath @UnderstoodOrg Smartphones are everywhere. Using reading apps are the best choice for older students. I recommend @Google Text-to-Speech can be used on computers, laptops, and tablets. Easy to use. #LDchat |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Last question coming up... #ldchat |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Q4. What are some roadblocks parents and teachers face on the road to supporting kids with #dyslexia, and how do you overcome them? #ldchat https://t.co/CyhGcKCNOw |
| Kristin Kane @KristinMatzKane RT @UnderstoodJennO: A3: A3: By the time Ss are in secondary levels, accommodations are life savers. Spell-check, text <-> speech technology, scaffolded materials, and extra time are all some examples. #LDchat |

| Caroline Craig @ccmmz @UnderstoodOrg A4 #ldchat Schools taking 'wait and see' approach. We undertook testing privately. Easing child frustration was more important to me than school process. |
