简要总结
The purpose of this study is to determine whether music training is an effective treatment of reading disorders
详细描述
Introduction
Children with dyslexia show deficits in temporal processing, both in language and in music. Musical activity increases phonological awareness, word segmentation, working memory, as well as reading abilities in children with typical development, a compelling evidence for a role of music training in fostering brain plasticity. Within this theoretical framework, we investigate the hypothesis that music training, by improving temporal processing and rhythm abilities, improves phonological awareness and reading skills in children with dyslexia.
Methods: The study is a prospective, multicenter, open randomized controlled trial, consisting of test, rehabilitation and re-test
