Abstract
To compare literacy levels in athetoid quadriplegic (AQ) patients born in the 1960s and 1970s with those born in the 1980s and 1990s. Nine patients with AQ born between 1966 and 1972 were compared with eight patients born between 1983 and 1991. Reading difficulties were found in almost all patients with AQ, despite normal intellect. Those in the earlier period were for the most part functionally literate, while those in the later period were functionally illiterate. Specific and intensive reading education may be required in patients with AQ to obtain functional literacy.
