Evidence-based Intervention for Poor Readers with
Cognitive Challenges
Principal Investigator(s)/Project Directors: Dr. Rollanda O'Connor, Kathleen Bocian, Dr. Margaret Beebe-Frankenberger, Dr. Frank Gresham
Project description: Over the five years of this research, we will develop and test the effects of instructional modifications for teaching young students with cognitive impairments to read. We will characterize the most effective modifications, document short and long term response to the interventions, and determine the feasibility of using paraprofessionals to deliver the instruction to students in small groups.
Partners/Collaborating Institutions: University of Montana, Alvord School District, San Bernardino Unified School District, Missoula School District
