The Neuropsychology of Written Language Disorders with Steven Feifer (Hybrid) - 30549
This webinar will explore the neuropsychological underpinnings of the written language process and the use of evidence-based interventions to remediate writing disorders in children. For years, educators have struggled to cultivate more effective writing skills in their students as well as to identify early signs of written language disorders.

A breakdown in these fundamental cognitive, linguistic, or motoric processes can result in various subtypes of written language disorders.
