Project: Colorado Twin Project

The Colorado Learning Disabilities Research Center (CLDRC; P50 HD27802) is a long-standing interdisciplinary, multisite research program that is supported by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. The CLDRC investigates the genetic and environmental etiologies, neurobiology, neuropsychology, classification, and outcomes of learning disabilities (LDs) and related disorders such as attention/deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The overarching long-term goal of the CLDRC is to develop and refine a comprehensive neurodevelopmental and neurobiological model of LDs and related disorders, then to use that model to inform early screening and identification to guide prevention and treatment.
