The HRS Learning Center utilizes the Slingerland® Screening Procedures, developed by the Slingerland® Literacy Institute, to help identify a student’s language-based learning strengths and weaknesses as an indicator of instructional needs. While the Slingerland® Screening is not a nationally normed device and does not provide a diagnosis of a specific learning disability, it is used throughout the U.S. to gain insight about student strengths and weakness in the auditory, visual, and kinesthetic cognitive processing areas, as well as the degree to which working memory may contribute to the student’s challenges in each of these areas.
The HRS Learning Center’s Certified Slingerland® Screeners have been specifically trained in the administration, evaluation, and analysis of Slingerland® Screening results, which can help to identify visual, auditory, or kinesthetic modality weaknesses – or weaknesses with integration between these modalities – which, in turn, may be an underlying cause of a student’s challenges in acquiring language skills related to reading, spelling, handwriting, and written expression.
