Who can be involved in the Dyslexia Research Registry (DRR)?  The DRR is 
recruiting two groups to join the registry.  The first is families who 
have a history of dyslexia/reading disabilities.  The second is 
educators and professionals who work with these families.

 

Families who have a history of dyslexia or reading disabilities are 
invited to join the DRR.  In particular, for current studies we are 
recruiting families who have a child in grades 2-8 who has dyslexia or a 
reading disability.  However, others may also apply to learn about 
future studies.  Families who wish to join the DRR will be asked to 
complete an application regarding their reading and educational history 
of immediate family members.  This information will assist us in 
matching families with the most appropriate research studies.  Families 
who complete the application will be eligible for a gift card to a major 
retail store as a thank you.  All information will be kept confidential 
and will only be used for reading research purposes.  Applications can 
also be completed as a telephone interview.

 

Joining the Dyslexia Research Registry does not obligate a family to 
participate in any reading research studies.  It does allow the DRR to 
contact families about reading research studies.  Families are then free 
to choose if they wish to participate in a particular study.  Many 
studies may be participated in from your own home through the mail, 
telephone, or internet.  Other studies may request that families meet 
with a professional local to the family for reading related 
assessments.  Thus, you do not need to live in Florida.

The Dyslexia Research Registry is recruiting Educators and Other 
Professionals who work with families who have a history of dyslexia or 
reading disabilities.  We are looking for professionals who would like 
to distribute Dyslexia Research Registry Brochures to the families with 
whom they work. 

 

We are also recruiting professionals who have experience assessing 
reading related skills to assess families in their geographic area.  
Professionals with this training who would like to join the Dyslexia 
Research Registry team will be asked to complete an application.

Professionals who administer the reading assessments will be eligible 
for a gift card to a retail store as a thank you for their time and talent.
