The Florida Learning Disabilities Research Center

摘要 整体 佛罗里达学习障碍研究中心的长期目标是使用多学科， 多方法和多层次的方法，以（a）大幅度增加关于 （B）将这些知识应用于有可能改善以下结果的工具中： 有学习障碍的个人及其家庭;（c）既要创造知识，又要实施知识 在某种程度上，代表了有学习障碍的个人群体的多样性，特别是 关注历史上研究不足和服务不足的人口;以及（d）继续关注 订婚我们将使用经过验证的方法来实现这些长期目标， 被证明是成功的，也是创新的方法，尚未被应用到学习领域 残疾，但显示承诺。佛罗里达学习障碍研究中心包括六个项目， 三个核心，解决有关学习障碍的基础和应用研究问题。Project one 解决了识别、分类和风险预测。项目二解决如何预测模型 建议对个别学生进行更多的干预。项目三涉及早期发展 语言和识字。项目四涉及遗传和环境对个人和 行为遗传学研究的发展差异。第五个项目是发展执行 功能，语言和识字的学生学习英语作为第二语言。项目六地址 学习障碍的神经遗传学这三个核心包括一个行政核心，一个承诺， 一个是分析核心。

ABSTRACT Overall The long-range objectives of the Florida Learning Disabilities Research Center are to use a multidisciplinary, multimethod, and multi-level approach to (a) substantially increase replicable knowledge about the nature of learning disabilities; (b) implement this knowledge in tools that potentially can improve the outcomes of individuals with learning disabilities and their families; (c) to do both knowledge generation and implementation in a way that represents the diversity of the populations of individuals with learning disabilities, with particular attention to historically understudied and underserved populations; and (d) to continue our focus on engagement. We will achieve these long-range objectives using tried-and-true methodologies that have been proven to be successful and also innovative methodologies that have yet to be applied to the area of learning disabilities but show promise. The Florida Learning Disabilities Research Center comprises six projects and three cores that address basic and applied research questions about learning disabilities. Project one addresses identification, classification, and risk prediction. Project two addresses forecasting models of how much intervention is recommended for individual students. Project three addresses early development of language and literacy. Project four addresses genetic and environmental contributions to individual and developmental differences from behavior genetic studies. Project five addresses the development of executive functions, language, and literacy for students learning English as a second language. Project six addresses the neurogenetics of learning disabilities. The three cores include an administrative core, an engagement core, and an analytics core.
