The study aims to document the effects of the intervention system for specific reading and spelling disorders, currently in use at Scientific Institute (IRCCS) Medea as an innovative intervention model in e-health mode. The model constitutes the application of research data collected in more than fifteen years research on the causes of dyslexia and rehabilitation techniques, combined with the most advanced technologies for remotely-controlled clinical management and therapy monitoring through adaptive, self-updating algorithms. A single group of about 80 children will be observed and their performance on reading, spelling and metaphonological tests at pre-test, post-test and follow-up (after 6 months) will be recorded in order to assess improvement (and, consequently, treatment effectiveness) and its stability. The improvements obtained in four weeks treatment will subsequently be compared with those obtained with outpatient intervention programmes of the same duration and intensity.
