MAEVAD is a digital therapy specifically designed to improve the visual attention (VA) span of children with dyslexia. Dyslexia is characterized by a specific and significant impairment in reading and/or writing production and spelling. Some profiles of children with dyslexia show a deficit in VA span, characterized by a decrease in the number of distinct visual elements that can be processed simultaneously. VA span plays a critical role in the acquisition of reading skills and specific knowledge of word spelling. Brain regions involved in visual-attentional skills are under-activated in dyslexic children with VA deficits and can be reactivated following specific and intensive VA span training.~In this study 150 children with dyslexia will be randomized in tow groups. On the first group children will be trained first with MAEVAD then with a control training that does not stimulate the VA span. On contrary, on the second group children will first perform the control training and then MAEVAD.~For each intervention the sessions will lasts 15 minutes. 5 sessions are planned per weeks for 6 weeks.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficiency of the medical device MAEVAD in improving the reading skills of children with dyslexia.
