Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of the present study is to compare the effectiveness of Rhythmic Reading Training (RRT), a computer-assisted intervention method that combines sublexical reading exercises with rhythm processing, and that of a multimodal intervention comprising different methodology, called 'Abilmente'. All interventions were delivered for a period ranging 1-2,5 months, in 60 minutes biweekly sessions.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

RRT+sat

RRT in combination with specific auditory training (sat) administered for a total of 20 hours over 10 weeks (60 minutes biweekly sessions).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

RRT+sat

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

RRT is a child-friendly computerized reading training program designed for Italian students with DD aged 8-14 yrs. The main feature of this intervention is the integration of a traditional remediation approach (sublexical treatment) with rhythm processing. Therefore, all reading exercises are characterized by a rhythmic accompaniment with gradually increasing speed. For this study, RRT was delivered in combination with a specific auditory training involving several music games specifically designed for improving auditory processing abilities typically compromised in children with DD.

Abilmente

Abilmente method administered for a total of 10 hours over 5 weeks (60 minutes biweekly sessions).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Abilmente

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

'Abilmente' method is an intervention for DD that comprises several validated treatments resulting in a proposal tailored to meet individual needs and features.
