Virutal lecture: Flanagan on Theory and Research-based Approach to SLD identification

Dear Professor: We invite you to join us online for a Virtual Guest Lecture on the following topic: Guest Lecture Topic A Theory- and Research-based Approach to SLD Identification: Integrating RTI with Cognitive Assessment Data Monday, March 22 @ 2 p.m. ET - Click here to register Presenter: Dawn Flanagan, St. John's University
	RTI and cognitive assessment are not mutually exclusive and both are necessary for diagnosis and treatment of SLD. While debates between RTI-only advocates and cognitive assessment advocates will continue, neither side has strong enough evidence to convince us to abandon the other. In her Guest Lecture, Dawn Flanagan will present a theory- and research-based definition of SLD that integrates data from multiple sources and methods via a tiered service delivery model which will aid in differential diagnosis (i.e., distinguishing SLD from other disabilities and conditions). In addition to our online Guest Lecture Series offerings, the Wiley Faculty Network is a complete instructor resource for technology training and tutorials, live workshops, and peer-to-peer consulting, all designed to encourage the sharing of experiences, ideas, and resources. Don't miss this great opportunity! We're looking forward to having you join us! Sincerely, Your Wiley Faculty Network Team FacultyNetwork@wiley.com 1-866-4FACULTY P.S. If you know of a colleague who might be interested in this guest lecture series, we encourage you to pass this email along.

What is an iPost?

Readers of my various blogs may have noticed my labeling of short
posts as "iPosts". This indicates that I have made the post to my
blog directly from my iPhone. Although the posts are typically FYI
posts that provide links to other blogs, it is actually quicker to do
on my iPhone when compared to doing it on my computer. It is my
attempt to "pass a long" info I find in numerouse blogs I monitor
directly from my iPhone via Mobile Bloglines

Starting today I plan to add the above graphic to these posts. They
always have the messy original URLs and not tiny URLs.. But that is a
sacrifice made for quick spread of info. If in a real hurry I may
forget the icon.

iPost: Numerical estimation in preschoolers

Developmental Psychology - Vol 46, Iss 2 Developmental Psychology publishes articles that advance knowledge and theory about human development across the life span. Numerical estimation in preschoolers. Sun, Mar 7 2010 9:00 PM  by Berteletti, Ilaria; Lucangeli, Daniela; Piazza, Manuela; Dehaene, Stanislas; Zorzi, Marco Children's sense of numbers before formal education is thought to rely on an approximate number system based on logarithmically compressed analog magnitudes that increases in resolution throughout childhood. School-age children performing a numerical estimation task have been shown to increasingly rely on a formally appropriate, linear representation and decrease their use of an intuitive, logarithmic one. We investigated the development of numerical estimation in a younger population (3.5- to 6.5-year-olds) using 0–100 and 2 novel sets of 1–10 and 1–20 number lines. Children's estimates shifted from logarithmic to linear in the small number range, whereas they became more accurate but increasingly logarithmic on the larger interval. Estimation accuracy was correlated with knowledge of Arabic numerals and numerical order. These results suggest that the development of numerical estimation is built on a logarithmic coding of numbers—the hallmark of the approximate number system—and is subsequently shaped by the acquisition of cultural practices with numbers.

IQ Test DNA Fingerprints: Comparison of WJ III, WISC-IV and WAIS-IV

Here is another in the series of IQ's Corner "IQ Test CHC DNA Fingerprint" test comparison series.  This particular CHC fingerprint figure compares the CHC composition of the respective full scale total composite IQ scores from the WJ III/BAT III and the WISC-IV and WAIS-IV.

Background information regarding the development, use and interpretation of this feature can be found at a prior post and in the IQ Test CHC DNA Fingerprint section on the blog side bar.
