Dr. Michael Marlowe of Appalachian State University in Boone, North Carolina, USA has undertaken extensive academic research on the effective use of Torey’s books in training new teachers and how the books can affect long-term attitudes towards individuals with special needs.

During the 1970s Torey undertook academic research into elective mutism, which was at that time a poorly-reported phenomenon. Most of her work was done in conjunction with work at the Department of Maternal and Child Health and the Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. She presented her research to the national conference of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry in 1978.
The second paper is an unpublished academic paper relating to Torey's doctoral thesis.

[Research in this academic paper identifies children who appear in Torey's books. This conflicts with the legal consents these children and their families have given for the books to be written. Therefore, we can not longer provide an active link to this research on this site. ]
