The purpose of this study was to examine the reading performance of 16 individuals with Asperger syndrome. The students were administered the Classroom Reading Inventory (Silvaroli, 1993), and the results were analyzed to determine if individuals with Asperger syndrome present similar reading deficits, as posited by researcher and practitioners in special education. Findings of the study were discussed to better understand how the reading characteristics of students with Asperger syndrome affect classroom performance.
