It should be read in conjunction with thorough and detailed reading of the TOD manual before administering the test.  \nTest Content: what tests does it include and what do they measure/evaluate?  \nWhat is its purpose?  \n‘The Tests of Dyslexia (TOD) was developed to address the need for a psychometrically and theoretically sound means of assessing for dyslexia or a specific learning disability in reading. The TOD provides measures to address screening, diagnosis, and interventionbased assessment goals starting in kindergarten and extending through adulthood. It was designed to fulfil the need to be proactive in screening and identifying individuals with dyslexia. As a comprehensive assessment tool, it addresses three essential areas for the effective assessment of dyslexia:  \n1. Screening: The TOD provides an efficient individual or group-administered screening measure to identify individuals who are at risk for reading difficulty.  \n2. Comprehensive individual assessment: The TOD provides a comprehensive individually administered battery of tests to identify individuals who have dyslexia, their strengths and weaknesses, and their reading-related skill areas most in need of intervention, as well asan accompanying intervention guide.  \n3. Behavioural information: The TOD includes co-normed self, parent/caregiver, and teacher rating scales that provide a quantitative score indicating risk of dyslexia, and qualitative information regarding reading, spelling, and related skills.’ (TOD Manual p. 1)  \nWhat is its design?  \nTo guide the design of the TOD, a conceptual framework that characterises the main components of dyslexia was developed. A comprehensive dyslexia assessment measures skills and abilities in three broad domains: reading and spelling, linguistic processing, and vocabulary and reasoning. The reading and spelling domain represents skills that are typically impacted negatively when an individual has dyslexia. The linguistic processing domain assesses abilities that underlie the development of reading and spelling skills. Poor performance on this domain indicates the individual is at risk for dyslexia. The vocabulary and reasoning domain assesses abilities that do not require reading or spelling. Comparing the results from this domain with results from the other two domains can be useful in making a diagnosis of dyslexia.
