Dyslexia Clinical Trials

The purpose of the present study is to compare the effectiveness of Rhythmic Reading Training (RRT), a computer-assisted intervention method that combines sublexical reading exercises with rhythm processing, and that of an intervention resulting from the combination of two yet validated treatments for DD, namely, Bakker's Visual Hemisphere-Specific Stimulation (VHSS) ...

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the combination of Rhythmic Reading Training (RRT), a computer-assisted intervention method that combines sublexical reading exercises with rhythm processing, and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on reading abilities of a group of Italian undergraduate students with dyslexia. Two experimental ...

The long-term goal of this study is to improve prediction of poor reading outcome at preschool age by using a combination of behavioural and neuroimaging measures and to evaluate a specific computerized training program to support children with problems during reading acquisition.

Prior work by our group shows that d-amphetamine and the dopamine precursor levodopa markedly improve word learning success in healthy subjects. In this randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind trial, we probe whether daily administration of levodopa, coupled with a training of grammatical rules, improves the training success in healthy adults as compared ...

dyslexia is often considered like a phonological deficit but some researches show that a visual attention (V-A) deficit can occur in dyslexia. The investigator want to show that some dyslexics have a reduced V-A field in visual search when the investigator use separable feature (letter-like). If the investigator demonstrate that, ...

Learning disabilities (LD) are among the most common types of disabilities in juvenile offenders that have been linked to delinquency. Nationwide, children and youth with special education needs are overrepresented in the US justice systems. Reports estimate delinquent juveniles with a disability to comprise about 30% to 60% of the ...

Primary Hypothesis: Students receiving the RISE intervention will outperform those receiving Business as Usual (BAU) instruction across reading-related elements, including word reading, fluency, and comprehension at the end of year two of treatment. Secondary Hypothesis: Students receiving the RISE intervention will outperform those receiving Business as Usual (BAU) instruction on ...

2 groups of children (dyslexics and control) will be evaluated on 2 tasks: Evaluation of the proprioception: Perception of the speed and Perception of the position Evaluation of the motor learning: Estimation of state in the framework of a motor perturbation

Subjects are recruited for a pre-kindergarten education program focusing on early literacy skills. Primary outcomes are improvement in letter knowledge and changes in brain response to text.

Subjects will come in for up to 2 sessions, each lasting between 1 - 4 hours. Subjects will complete reading and cognitive tasks associated with reading, and receive TMS as well as 2 MRI brain scans, in order to assess brain regions important to reading. Initial, basic screening including MRI ...
