How Do We Know It's Working: Evaluating the Quality and Effectiveness of Dyslexia Intervention

How do you really know if dyslexia intervention is working? In this powerful presentation, Megan Pinchback, Certified Academic Language Therapist (CALT) and founder of Dyslexia On Demand, breaks down exactly what parents and advocates should look for when evaluating reading intervention. If your child has been identified with dyslexia—or a Specific Learning Disability in Reading—and you’re hearing “the data looks good” but not seeing meaningful change, this session is for you. Megan walks through: -What quality dyslexia intervention actually looks like -The difference between research-based and truly evidence-based programs -Why fidelity (frequency, duration, and group size) matters -The red flags that signal intervention isn’t aligned -What progress monitoring should measure -How to interpret standard score growth -Why common school data (like I-Ready or MAP) can be misleading -How to write IEP goals that actually reflect remediation This presentation empowers parents to ask better questions, interpret data with confidence, and advocate effectively—without needing to become literacy experts themselves. Effective dyslexia intervention is measurable. It’s observable. And when done right, it changes lives.
