Who Can Use the TOD?
- The components of the TOD can be used by a variety of clinicians and educators. For example, a classroom teacher may administer the TOD-Screener and complete the Teacher Rating Scale.
- Reading specialists, specialist teaching assessors, psychologists, and speech and language therapists are best suited to administer the TOD-Early or the TOD-Comprehensive due to their advanced coursework and experience with standardised tests.
- Teachers that are trained to administer the test and are supervised by professionals who have advanced training with standardised assessments may also administer the TOD-E or TOD-C.
- Interpreting test results requires a higher level of skill. For that reason, while a broader range of individuals can administer the test, interpreting results requires a knowledge of dyslexia and formal training in test administration, scoring, and interpretation.
