Dyslexic students' experiences in using assistive technology to support written language skills: a five-year follow-up

Language/cognitive predictors of literacy skills in 12-year-old children on the autism spectrum
CONCLUSIONS: The results confirm previous findings as well as provide new knowledge regarding profiles of literacy (difficulties) in children with ASD; interestingly, the identified predictors of literacy skills in ASD resembled those identified as important in general reading (and dyslexia) research, which might indicate that similar kinds of support and training would be beneficial.PMID:33660563 | DOI:10.1080/14015439.2021.1884897
