New Technology Offers Hope for Detection and Evaluation of Children with Dyslexia to Determine Specific Needs and Appropriate Treatment
In a recent interview with CMRubinWorld, the co-founder of Lexplore says cutting edge AI now provides a clear view of how a child reads, and predicts that this is just the beginning.
NEW YORK, Feb. 18, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- As many as 10 to 15 percent of school-age children are dyslexic, and the International Dyslexia Association estimates that there are 1 billion people with dyslexia worldwide. In a new interview with C. M. Rubin, creator of The Global Search for Education and founder of CMRubinWorld, Frederick Wetterhall, the co-founder of Lexplore, discusses the new technological advances in the AI sector that provide screening for evaluating students' reading levels. Lexplore uses the latest artificial intelligence technology to better recognize dyslexia in children early on in their academic careers. According to Wetterhall, the educator can "visualize the cognitive process that is happening when a child reads." Lexplore's use of eye gaze data gives teachers "a clear view of reading," as it allows them to see "how the child is reading and how the struggles of dyslexia impact the reading process." He adds that scientists are at "the embryonic stages of what artificial intelligence is capable of doing."
