LeOPRO in the Treatment of Dyslexia and Dysorthography
Filippo Paccini, Gian Marco Marzocchi
Children were assessed before and after treatment using standardized measures of reading (MT-3) and spelling (BVSCO-2), with tests selected according to age and school year at the beginning and end of the intervention. Results showed significant improvements in reading speed (text, word, and nonword reading) and a significant reduction in reading errors. Moreover, in subgroups with complete data, a significant reduction in spelling errors was observed. Exploratory analyses indicated that longer treatment duration (in months) was associated with greater gains in reading speed. No systematic association was found between outcomes and age at baseline, suggesting that the intervention may be effective regardless of the child’s age. Overall, the findings support the effectiveness of LeOPRO in improving reading and spelling skills in the sample considered.
