- Abstract
The article examines the relationship between specific Woodcock-Johnson III Cognitive and Achievement clusters across populations with and without dyslexia at the post-secondary level and discusses the implications of the findings for assessment and accommodation practices for secondary and post-secondary students. The vast majority of students with learning disabilities are those with reading disabilities or dyslexia. Converging scientific evidence documents that students with dyslexia become increasingly more accurate in reading as they progress in school, but continue to demonstrate problems with reading and writing fluency.
