Current Research
Recruiting Participants
We are currently recruiting children for a research study in grades 2, 3 and 4 who scored at the 25th percentile or lower on their most recent testing of reading.
This is a grant funded study by the North Dakota Department of Commerce, Research ND program and is conducted in collaboration with the University of North Dakota. The purpose of the study is to examine the effectiveness of 8 weeks of vision therapy (two 1-hour sessions per week) that is designed to improve the functioning of the magnocellular visual system that, according to recent research, may be affected in poor readers. This intervention will be compared to 8 weeks (two 1 hour-sessions per week) of the standard-of-care treatment based on teaching phonological awareness to poor readers.
