Basic Concept

The basic concept of Dybuster is based on the observation that dyslexia is most often linked to a deficit in mapping the spoken language to the written language. This deficit is known in Neuroscience as the Phonological Deficit. The brain areas which perform the mapping are not as strong in dyslexics as they are in people without dyslexia.

Through the means of multi-sensory learning, Dybuster provides additional information about the written language through channels otherwise not used when learning how to read and write. This allows the brain to use new areas to strengthen the mapping of the spoken language to the written language and hence to decrease the phonological deficit.

What and how much information is to be provided through these new channels is calculated based on theories from Computer Science. These theories are ideal to tackle the problem, because Computer Science is used to modeling the transmission, acquisition, storing and reproduction of information.
