LIT 513 - Adolescence Literacy: Assessment and Intervention


Catalog Year 2012-2013

The purpose of this course is to develop understandings about the nature and function of diagnostic and evaluative processes in literacy instruction. It also provides an introduction to the Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA-97), Section 504 of the Vocational-Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and subsequent legislation and amendments and NYS Special Education Regulations. Areas of exceptionality are introduced in relation to definitions, characteristics, and educational implications. A primary focus of study will be on the application of information derived through diagnostic assessments in literacy to make decisions about effective instruction and accommodations. Instructional procedures will be developed and implemented with individual students.
