Abstract

  1. the Colorado Reading Project has received continuous NICHD [National Institute of Child Health & Human Development] support for over ten years / the long-range objectives of this program project remain the identification, characterization, and validation of distinct subtypes or dimensions of reading disability
    a test battery that includes measures of cognitive abilities and of reading and language processes is being administered to a sample of identical and fraternal twin pairs in which at least one member of each pair is reading disabled, to parents of these twins, to members of identical and fraternal twin pairs in which at least one member of each pair is reading disabled, to parents of these twins, to members of identical and fraternal twin families in which the children are normal readers, and to a longitudinal sample of nontwin reading-disabled and control children
    the Colorado Reading Project currently includes four substantive components: Twin/Family Study; Reading and Language Processes; Epidemiology of Immunological Differences; and Linkage Analysis / the primary objective of the present report is to summarize the results of recent research conducted within each of these components (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
