Description
– This is a 1-hour recorded session on-demand –
In this session you will see how the Intelligence and Development Scales – 2nd Edition (IDS-2) can be used in a flexible and holistic way to assess individuals who may have specific learning difficulties. There will be an overview of how the test battery is structured and why, but the main focus will be on its strengths for assessing the areas of cognition and attainment that are most relevant for identifying dyslexia. This will be in the context of the Delphi definition of dyslexia and the new SASC guidelines for assessing and reporting. The IDS-2 has many hands-on materials, which can make it interesting and enjoyable for both the assessor and the test-taker. Sarah Sainty will introduce the online scoring and there will be a chance to see how this works.
Our presenter, Sarah Sainty, is an Assessment Consultant for Hogrefe and is a highly experienced assessor. She enjoys using the IDS-2 and will explain the wealth of information it yields.
The IDS-2 is available for purchase from Hogrefe and there is a current discount available when purchased through them here. We give thanks to Hogrefe for this presentation.
Accessing our on-demand courses
Please note that we are trialling a different way of sharing our content:
When you purchase an on-demand course, you will receive an automated email from us with various links (make sure to check your junk box!). Pressing the links under the heading Download will allow you to download 1. the course handout(s) and 2. an ‘Accessing the Recording’ document. You will have 1 month from date of purchase to download these documents.
The ‘Accessing the Recording’ document contains a link to a very short Zoom registration form (only 4 questions!). Once completed, you will be granted automatic access to the recording. To start watching, you will need the passcode which will be listed in the ‘Accessing the Recording’ document.
You can now go ahead and 
view the recording. Access to the recording will be available to you for a further month after registration is complete. You can view the recording more than once by clicking the same link you used to register.
If you have any questions about this process or any other queries, please email courses@helenarkell.org.uk
