Publications from PADI
Publications are an important part of our research, and one of the ways of communicating our work with colleagues. The following lists our most recent and/or significant publications.

See also PADI presentations on our follow-on project web sites, Applications of Evidence-Centered Design to State Large-Scale Science Assessment and Principled Science Assessment Design for Students with Disabilities, as well as PADI conference presentations from AERA 2006 and AERA 2005.
