Summary of the Current State of Modern Research Related to Dyslexia

Abstract

This chapter focuses on the integration of dyslexia research with research on web accessibility. It describes some examples of studies focused on the usage of multiple sources in the context of dyslexia readers. The authors also focus on the usage of multiple sources in the digital context and potential challenges for dyslexia readers. While conventional print contains just text combined with different illustrations, the web tools regularly combine different presentations such as text, illustrations, animations, sounds, and videos. This combination then moves the boundaries of understanding.
