Dyslexia, Learning Disabilities, Learning Disorders, Specific, Specific Learning Disorder, With Impairment in Reading
Conditions
Brief summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the effect on reading skills of the digital medical device Poppins Clinical for cognitive and musical training in pediatric participants (ages 7-11) with a specific learning disability with reading deficit. The main objective of the study is to assess the evolution in reading skills through a word reading task before and after the intervention. Participants will be asked to train with the digital medical device Poppins Clinical 5 times per week for 8 weeks.
Interventions
Poppins Clinical is a software as a medical device that combines a musical and cognitive training program and written language training program.
