Computer-based Sound Training Improves Dyslexic Kids Reading Ability
October 31, 2007 at 5:09 PM
News on IT in Healthcare
After eight weeks of daily sessions, about 60 hours total, dyslexic childrens brains started responding more like typical readers when processing fast-changing sounds. It also helped improve their reading ability.
The researchers, however, are unclear whether the improvement would have lasted beyond a few weeks, as they did not conduct follow-up tests.
Dr. Gaab is now planning to investigate whether other type of sound trainingsuch as learning to sing or play a musical instrumentmay help dyslexic children.
"We've done a few studies showing that musicians are much better at processing rapidly changing sounds than people without musical training. If musicians are so much better at these abilities, and you need these abilities to read, why not try musical training with dyslexic children and see if that improves their reading," she says.
The study has been reported in the journal Restorative Neurology and Neuroscience.
