The Texas Center for Learning Disabilities (TCLD) conducts research that leads to a more comprehensive understanding of the following:
- Reliable and valid classifications of learning disabilities, with direct implications for identification of students with significant reading disabilities, including models that incorporate response to intervention (RTI; Project 1)
- The role of executive functions and attention in reading comprehension and other academic skills (Project 2)
- Effective interventions for English language learners with intractable reading difficulties (Project 3)
- The neural correlates of reading disabilities in children (Project 4)
- Genetic factors related to inadequate instructional response (Project 5)
This center supports research that leads to a more comprehensive classification of LD, a more integrated understanding of intervention for children with reading problems, and important cross-discipline insights into the nature of LD. Currently, this research takes the form of four projects to be conducted over the next five years.
