Ideal for use within an RTI delivery system model, the FAR Screening Form and FAR Screening Form Remote are designed to identify children at risk for developmental dyslexia and measure the underlying processes of reading.

Our In-Person e-Stimulus Books and Kits are convenient alternatives to paper administration that allow you to administer the FAR face-to-face via tablet. Be sure to download our new white paper prior to administering.
