Special Education Research Project Coordinator Grant Coordinated o Predictors and Subtypes of Reading Disabilities: Implications for Instruction of "Late-Emergers".

Predicting Late Emerging Reading Disabilities (LERD) to determine the cognitive and neurobiological profile associated with LERD, and establish how LERD is similar or different than early reading failure (RD-E).

Cognitive and Neural Processes in Reading Comprehension to examine potential sources of poor reading comprehension among children and adolescents by studying subjects with poor single word reading, subjects with poor reading comprehension despite normal scores on tests of single word reading, and controls with typically developing reading skills.

Responsiveness-To-Intervention (RTI) to strengthen the Academic Performance of Students with Reading and Math Difficulties o RTI-Reading (IES grant)
