Learning disabilities have historically been considered lifelong, incurable conditions. While treatment and early intervention has made it possible for people to learn how to live with their conditions, they’ve largely been considered manageable rather than solvable. But now, a revolutionary AI-powered dyslexia treatment promises the unthinkable: a way to change the brain.
Can AI change the brain? Co-founder behind revolutionary dyslexia treatment says yes
A white paper published by the UCSF Dyslexia Center and Boston Consulting Group estimated that “dyslexia and its consequences” would cost the state $12 billion in 2020 and $1 trillion over the next 60 years.
Dyslexia treatments range from tutoring and interactive games to relying more on auditory learning and using bigger text or colored paper to make reading easier. But there hasn’t been a way to correct the underlying brain differences causing the disorder. Until now.
Revolutionary Dyslexia Treatment – AI Can Change the Brain
“There is good AI, and there is bad AI. It’s just how people are using it,” said Hoh, whose New York-based company, Dysolve, uses artificial intelligence to address students’ reading challenges.
‘Tip of the Iceberg’: The AI Revolution is Here
This week on In Touch, we speak with Dr. Coral P.S. Hoh from Dsyolve. Dr. Hoh and her co-founders created Dysolve to help students in the Hudson Valley and beyond overcome their learning disabilities through AI. Dr. Hoh and I discuss how the program works along with sharing remarkable stories about what students have been able to achieve after using Dysolve.

AI offers a way to read individual brains at the level of granularity needed to correct brain processes that contribute to dyslexia.
AI is the solution to costly and ineffective dyslexia programs
Good AI — which already is helping students with dyslexia — benefits students, teachers, administrators and taxpayers. Dyslexia is not just an educational problem but an economic one. The cost of using AI for dyslexia intervention can be less than 10% of current spending on special services per pupil. The AI benefit goes beyond cost savings: For the first time, we can read individual brains to understand neurodivergences at a level of specificity that enables correction. AI does so by using a game interface to map the functional, not the physical, brain. Through its generated games, the AI controls and corrects a user’s linguistic-cognitive outputs (game responses).

Like many of you, I did not pay attention to special education when my kids were in school. I knew this part of the public school system existed but did not realize its oversized impact on all children and society.
Even if you don’t have kids, special education still impacts you
Can AI treat dyslexia in a way traditional experts can’t? Dr. Coral Hoh explains how she’s trying to do just with AI-powered platform Dysolve.
As artificial intelligence continues to dominate Wall Street’s attention, the conversation typically has revolved around productivity…among more existential concerns.
But can AI be used to treat some of the most consequential and prevalent cognitive diseases?
