Using A Refutation Text To Increase Dyslexia Knowledge In Csd Undergraduates, Dorothy Shiver, Hannah Krimm
Teaching and Learning in Communication Sciences & Disorders
The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of a refutation text on conceptual knowledge of dyslexia among pre-professional undergraduate students in communication sciences and disorders (CSD).
