Training to improve reading skills in children with dyslexia

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the effects of rhythmic auditory stimulation on dyslexic readers aged 7 to 9 years. Participants will undergo 30 sessions of auditory training over 6 weeks, aimed at correcting neural oscillations that may hinder reading abilities. The study includes behavioral and electrophysiological assessments at various stages to measure improvements in phonemic categorization and reading skills. Four groups will be compared, each receiving different training sequences involving auditory rhythmic training and grapho-phonological training.
