New York Startup to Diagnose & Treat Dyslexia with A.I. Games

Dyslexia affects up to one in five children globally and has been a persistent challenge for educators and families. Dr. Coral Hoh, a clinical linguist, describes the neurobiological learning disorder as fundamentally a “code error in the brain’s reading system” that interferes accurate and fluent word recognition. “Each component in this system comprises billions of data points, and linguistic ability entails billions and billions of possible permutations. Therefore, the problem becomes essentially a computational one,” Hoh told Observer. https://observer.com/2024/11/ai-dyslexia-diagnosis-treatment-startup/

Strategies: Understanding and accommodating dyslexia

When someone has difficulty learning to read, she has dyslexia. Dyslexia is due to inefficient language processing in the brain. Other language functions — speaking, listening comprehension and writing — may also be affected.

Here are some things to look for:

  • Speech – difficulty pulling up the right word to say
  • Listening comprehension – difficulty retaining and carrying out oral instructions
  • Reading – difficulty recognizing simple, common words like this and that
  • Writing – difficulty spelling simple, common words
