Recording of Deanna Ferello & Angelina Tehranian: When Reading Intervention Isn't Working: What Are We Missing? Webinar
Presenters: Deanna Ferello, M.S., CCC-SLP, C-SLDI
Angelina Tehranian, M.S., CCC-SLP
Many students receive reading intervention consistently — and still don't make the progress we expect. This session takes a closer look at why, moving beyond "try harder" or "add more minutes," to examine the real gaps that often go unaddressed.
Attendees will explore how to identify root-cause deficits that surface-level, accuracy-focused instruction can miss, and how to adjust intervention when co-occurring conditions like ADHD and Autism are shaping how a student attends to, processes, and responds to instruction. We'll also examine commonly overlooked components of literacy instruction — the pieces beyond decoding that are essential for true reading growth — and discuss how to use progress monitoring data to catch a stalled trajectory before months are lost. Throughout, the session will be grounded in evidence-based approaches, giving attendees practical, research-backed strategies they can bring back to their classrooms and caseloads immediately.
Designed for teachers, SLPs, and other professionals supporting struggling readers, this session will help attendees walk away with a clearer diagnostic lens and concrete next steps for students whose progress has plateaued
