About

The aim of the present study is to investigate reliability in dyslexic children and compare it with healthy peers.

Full description

Assessments methods are very important for the detection and treatment of such problems and there is a need for studies that can be applied for the dyslexia group. However fewer attempts have been made to demonstrate the reliability of balance impairments tools in dyslexic children. The DGI is a test that has been used a lot lately because of its minimal requirement for space and equipment, as well as its ability to be used with different patients' groups. The aim of the present study is to investigate reliability in dyslexic children and compare it with healthy peers.
