Research interests
The focus of the studies I have been involved in has been increasing our understanding of development in reading and arithmetic, and factors affecting these developments. Of special interest have been individuals with dyslexia or dyscalculia due to family risk. Our approach has been longitudinal studies, in which we have followed the same individuals from birth to adulthood. This approach has enabled us to find predictors and precursors of difficulties in reading and arithmetic, different developmental trajectories and examining effectiveness of interventions.
