Publications

In the course of Lexia's work, we have written reports for sponsors, papers that have been published in professional journals and a couple of books all related to learning disabilities. Many of these have addressed results of studies of assistive technology and others have been related to testing and instructional issues. These publication date back to the 1990s and early 2000s. The following table provides references to these publications.
