Abstract
Other research has suggested that auditory-visual integration is a correlate of reading ability. This relationship was examined in congenitally deaf children identified as good and poor readers. Auditory-visual integration failed to discriminate between the two reading categories, but tactile-visual integrative performance did reflect reading ability differences.
