Data are presented concerning the distribution across the sample of reading‐ages and the comprehension of written grammatical constructions. These data should be useful to those who are preparing written material for adults with learning disabilities.</abstract><subject lang="en"><genre>keywords</genre><topic>adults</topic><topic>comprehension</topic><topic>intellectual disability</topic><topic>learning difficulties</topic><topic>learning disabilities</topic><topic>reading</topic></subject><relatedItem type="host"><titleInfo><title>Journal of Intellectual Disability Research</title></titleInfo><genre type="journal">journal</genre><identifier type="ISSN">0964-2633</identifier><identifier type="eISSN">1365-2788</identifier><identifier type="DOI">10.1111/(ISSN)1365-2788</identifier><identifier type="PublisherID">JIR</identifier><part><date>2006</date><detail type="volume"><caption>vol.</caption><number>50</number></detail><detail type="issue"><caption>no.</caption><number>6</number></detail><extent unit="pages"><start>410</start><end>418</end><total>9</total></extent></part></relatedItem><identifier type="istex">C53508F51D0D7465002B139E2FBBDC5158692BA4</identifier><identifier type="DOI">10.1111/j.1365-2788.2006.00787.x</identifier><identifier type="ArticleID">JIR787</identifier><recordInfo><recordContentSource>WILEY</recordContentSource><recordOrigin>Blackwell Publishing Ltd</recordOrigin></recordInfo></mods></metadata><serie></serie></istex></record>Pour manipuler ce document sous Unix (Dilib)
