Visual and auditory attention stimulator for assisting pedagogical therapy

Visual and auditory attention stimulator provides a system developed in order to improve reading skills using simultaneous presentation of text in its visual form and in transformed auditory form accompanied by related movie material. The described research employed 40 children at the age of 8-13 years having difficulties in learning of reading, who were diagnosed as having developmental dyslexia. It was shown that application of the proposed method could improve reading skills in those children. The effectiveness of the method has been shown primarily using the D2 attention test designed by R. Brickenkamp in its Polish adaptation made by E. Dajek.
