Abstract Accurate and efficient early screening is important for providing effective intervention dyslexic readers. While family history often considered a contributing risk factor dyslexia, some have suggested that it could serve as proxy identification of dyslexia. We examined the classification accuracy measure dyslexia using an epidemiologic sample 398 children followed from age 5 through a...

Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of Fernaldchr(chr('39')39chr('39'))s multisensory training and computer game training on dyslexia in primary school students with learning disabilities in Ahvaz. Methodology: This study was applied in terms of purpose and in an experimental framework (pre-test-post-test design with control group). The statistical population in the...

Objective: To investigate depressive and anxious symptomatology among transitioning adolescents and college students with ADHD, dyslexia, or comorbid ADHD/dyslexia. Method: Transitioning adolescents and college students with these disorders along with a non-ADHD/dyslexia college sample completed self-report measures of depression and anxiety. Results: Results indicated no differences between th...

OBJECTIVES Evaluated the effects of atomoxetine on the reading abilities of children with dyslexia only or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and comorbid dyslexia. METHODS Children aged 10-16 years (N = 209) met Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th Edition, Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR) criteria for dyslexia only (n = 58), ADHD and comorbid dyslexia (n = 124), ...

This study evaluated the effect of sound-symbol association training on visual and phonological memory in children with a history of dyslexia. Pretests of phonological and visual memory, a sound-symbol training procedure, and phonological and visual memory posttests were administered to children with dyslexia, to children whose dyslexia had been compensated through remedial training, and to age...

Recent evidence suggests that the primary source of dysfunction in dyslexia is the cerebellum. To examine the cerebellar deficit hypothesis of dyslexia, 20 children with dyslexia and 20 children without dyslexia were assessed using neuropsychological testing and quantitative magnetic resonance imaging. Results demonstrated that the volumes of both hemispheres and the vermis were not statistical...

In recent years, dyslexia legislation and awareness has become more prevalent. Dyslexia is a specific learning disorder that affects student’s ability to read because they have deficits in their overall phonological skills. While federal state been passed regarding dyslexia, surrounding still very minimal. Educators, parents, other school faculty members many times do not strong knowledge of dy...

The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that word reading accuracy, not oral language, is associated with spelling performance in school-age children. We compared fourth grade spelling accuracy in children with specific language impairment (SLI), dyslexia or both (SLI/dyslexia) to their typically developing grade-matched peers. Results of the study revealed that children with SLI p...

Developmental dyslexia is characterised by difficulties in learning to read. As reading is a complex cognitive process, multiple genes are expected to contribute to the pathogenesis of dyslexia. The genetics of dyslexia has been a target of molecular studies during recent years, but so far no genes have been identified. However, a locus for dyslexia on chromosome 15q21 (DYX1) has been establish...

A few studies suggest that gifted children with dyslexia have better literacy skills than averagely intelligent children with dyslexia. This finding aligns with the hypothesis that giftedness-related factors provide compensation for poor reading. The present study investigated whether, as in the native language (NL), the level of foreign language (FL) literacy of gifted students with dyslexia i...
