The value of parental report of family histories of reading disorders and pregnancy and birth complications was evaluated in two samples of reading disabled children and a control sample. The results provided support for the notion that parental retrospective report of these conditions is more reliable than has previously been reported and is also associated with indices of greater adaptive difficulty.
