Nine more reasons to visit the PAR Training Portal!
December 22, 2015
We are proud to announce that we have deepened the offerings available from the PAR Training Portal.
“The Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function™, 2
nd
Edition (BRIEF™2): An Introduction by Peter K. Isquith” is a video featuring Dr. Isquith discussing this new assessment and how it was updated during this revision. “Reynolds Intellectual Assessment Scales™, 2nd Ed. (RIAS™-2): An Overview with Cecil R. Reynolds” is a video featuring Dr. Reynolds discussing the RIAS-2 and what users should know about this revision. Both videos are excellent ways to learn about the key points of the product direct from the authors themselves!
Full-length, interactive training courses on both the
BRIEF2
and
RIAS-2
will be added to the PAR Training Portal in 2016.
Furthermore, to complement the full-length interactive training course on the
Feifer Assessment of Reading™ (FAR™)
currently live on the portal, we have added seven pronunciation guides. Each of the seven audio files offers the correct pronunciation for items appearing on subtests from the FAR. These audio presentations are meant to help users learn the most accurate enunciations of items and/or responses.
The PAR Training Portal offers our Customers the unique opportunity to receive training through online presentations that provide an overview of the development, scoring, sample item content, and normative and clinical data of selected assessments. To access the

Now available... The Feifer Assessment of Reading!
May 26, 2015
PAR is pleased to announce the release of the
Feifer Assessment of Reading™ (FAR™)
by Steven G. Feifer, DEd. This comprehensive test is designed to help identify specific reading disorder subtypes so clients can individualize a child’s education plan with interventions targeted to that child’s needs.
Based on the author’s neurodevelopmental theory of reading, which maps reading disorders to specific neural pathways in different regions of the brain.
Aids diagnosis by generating index scores for four dyslexic subtypes: dysphonetic dyslexia, surface dyslexia, mixed dyslexia, and reading comprehension deficits.
Puts the I back in IEP by directly informing intervention decisions; helps educators develop customized learning goals and objectives.
Features colorful, engaging, and unique item content.
Offers norms based on a diverse standardization sample of 1,074 individuals.
In just 15 minutes, the Screening Form can identify those who may be at risk for a reading disorder.
Can be used by professionals qualified to diagnose reading disorders and by teachers qualified to screen students for reading difficulties, develop individualized interventions, and monitor progress.
Includes a Fast Guide, a quick-start manual that will help you get up to speed on the FAR in minutes.
Scoring will soon be available on PARiConnect. Free on-demand, training is coming soon to the PAR Training Portal!
