Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Dyslexia is an “universal” developmental disorder affecting approximately 3-10% of the general population. Although there has been significant progress in studying the effectiveness of rehabilitation interventions for dyslexia, some important points still need to be better developed and require further confirmation from scientists.
Recently, meta-analytic studies on treatment efficacy in dyslexia revealed that, even if most published studies report effective results, the effect size of the improvement is very low, indicating troubles in enrolling large samples, lack of repeated measures, and follow-up. Moreover, individual differences in responsiveness have been reported repeatedly in several studies. From the research conducted so far, it is still unknown whether and how it is possible to find the best personalized intervention program.
Starting from these points, new challenges involve new technological applications that open promising fields for dyslexia treatment.
With this Special Issue, we aim to address the following questions:
- What are the new findings on treatments for developmental dyslexia?
- Is it possible to evaluate the short- and long-term effects in treatments for dyslexia?
- To what extent are the outcomes robust across different cognitive or learning profiles?
- How could new technologies be useful to implement treatment effectiveness for dyslexia?
