Sound training rewires dyslexic children’s brains for reading 31. October 2007 11:37 Some children with dyslexia struggle to read because their brains aren’t properly wired to process fast-changing sounds, according to a brain-imaging study published this month in the journal Restorative Neurology and Neuroscience (online October 16). The study found that sound training via computer exercises can literally rewire children’s brains, correcting the sound processing problem and improving reading. According to the study’s first author, Nadine Gaab, PhD, of the Laboratory of Cognitive Neuroscience at Children’s Hospital Boston, the finding may someday help clinicians diagnose dyslexia even before reading begins, and suggests new ways of treating dyslexia, such as musical training.
