Abstract :
This paper aims to present a computational tool based on neural networks to detect people with possible learning disabilities (dyslexia). Participants were aged from nine to 18 years old with or without the diagnosis of dyslexia. Neural networks technique showed consistency in dealing with the problems of pattern recognition in the screening of dyslexia.
