Background/purpose: Neurodiversity, including ASD, ADHD, and dyslexia, has a powerful impact on the learning processes and interaction with education. As fairness issues are growing in technology-enhanced learning (TEL), it is high time to trace research trends and critical contributors, as well as release new themes in this area. This paper…

Traditional education, characterized by rigid curricula and inflexible teaching methods, often fails to accommodate the diverse cognitive profiles of neurodivergent learners, including those with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and dyslexia. Although e-Learning has introduced greater flexibility and…

The Word Blind Centre for Dyslexic Children opened in London in 1963. It was not only the first clinic established in Britain specifically to cater for children diagnosed with dyslexia. It was also intended to provide compelling evidence that a condition called dyslexia actually existed. The results of this work were published in Sandhaya Naidoo's…

The potential role of iconic memory in dyslexia-specific partial report deficits has never been investigated although it may help distinguish between different visuo-attentional theories of dyslexia. The present study is a first step towards such an investigation within an iconic memory framework. 20 French-speaking university students with…

Background: Children with dyslexia and/or developmental language disorder (hereafter children with DDLD) have been reported to retrieve fewer words than their typically developing (TD) peers in semantic fluency tasks. It is not known whether this retrieval difficulty can be attributed to the semantic structure of their lexicon being poor or,…

This phenomenological study (Moustakas, 1994; Peoples, 2020) uses critical disability theory (Devlin & Pothier, 2006) and intersectionality (Crenshaw, 1989) as a lens for investigating the experiences of caregivers in a borderland community in Texas during their child's dyslexia identification process. I used Interpretive Phenomenological…

Reading is one of the most important daily visual tasks. Majority of people become expert readers at a very young age and perform this complex task effortlessly and automatically throughout most of their lives. However, in this "effortless" task, multiple complex processes must be efficiently carried out in a very short amount of time.…

Dyslexia has frequently been related to atypical auditory temporal processing and speech perception. Results of studies emphasizing speech onset cues and reinforcing the temporal structure of the speech envelope, that is, envelope enhancement (EE), demonstrated reduced speech perception deficits in individuals with dyslexia. The use of this…

Research on the question of creative benefit accompanying dyslexia has produced conflicting findings. In this meta-analysis, we determined summary effects of mean and variance differences in creativity between groups with and without dyslexia. Twenty studies were included (n = 770 individuals with dyslexia, n = 1,671 controls). A random-effects…

The problem addressed in this qualitative case study was elementary school teachers often do not receive the professional development in phonemic awareness and instructional strategies necessary to increase reading skills among students diagnosed with dyslexia. The purpose of this qualitative case study was to explore elementary school teachers'…

This within-subjects experimental study investigated the relative effects of word reading and word meaning instruction (WR+WM) compared to word-reading instruction alone (WR) on the accuracy, fluency, and word meaning knowledge of 4th-5th graders with dyslexia. We matched word lists on syllables, phonemes, frequency, number of definitions, and…

Dyslexia, which affects between 5% and 18% of Americans, is caused by difficulties with phonological processing. This study investigates the impact of an online intervention which remediates phonological processing deficits on functional reading skills such as accuracy, fluency, and comprehension. It also investigates changes to student…

One-to-one devices provide the opportunity to develop 21st century skills, improve academic learning, access information, and increase student independence. Prior to the one-to-one initiative, device use among the teachers of students with dyslexia had included low-level integration. The administration at this site made the decision to implement a…

The present study investigated whether and to what extent children with dyslexia utilize visual and phonetic strategies in character learning. A paired associate learning paradigm was used in two experiments to train children's pronunciation-orthography associations of novel words, with a recall task 1 week later for retention. Experiment 1…

Data from the 2019 National Assessment of Educational Progress indicates that only one-third of fourth and eighth grade students are able to read proficiently on grade level. Despite a well-established research base indicating that all students benefit from explicit, systematic code-based instruction, many teachers lack the knowledge about the…
