Brief summary
Dyslexia is characterized by difficulties with accurate and/or fluent word recognition and by poor spelling and decoding abilities. In France, dyslexia is a public health disorder. Dyslexia is a real public health problem in France, affecting 6% of the general population. However, no clinical trial of a standardized rehabilitation has shown an impact on reading fluency. In the era of intensive rehabilitation, a new protocol based on the current data from the medical literature has been designed.
