Michele,
Here's a link to the LD section of the Workforce Development Council of
Seattle-King County's Web site:
http://www.seakingwdc.org/templates/ld_overview.html  Scroll  down to
Section IV. Addressing Learning Disabilities in Employment and Training
Programs and you'll find the screening tool, Washington State Learning Needs
Screening Tool.  It's called the Washington 13 because there are 13
questions.  You'll want to check out the explanation, tool.

Subject: [NIFL-LD:4662] How to find out about LD screening tools

Dear list,

Someone in reply mentioned the Washington 13. Is this an screening tool that
can be used by someone who is not an LD specialist? Where do I find it? (I
did a Google search with little luck). Also, I have read books about the
Orton Gillingham, but maybe I need more training in this because I have a
hard time in a classroom setting getting students to use the
tactile/auditory (which is usually what they need most) because they seem to
become embarrased. Do others do this in a classroom setting or is the Orton
Gillingham approach usually used in one on one tutoring? 

Michele
