Abstract:

This paper describes the architecture of the already implemented package where three important elements interact: a multimedia interface, an inference module and a database. This architecture provides the system with the flexibility to support a large variety of tasks, dynamic presentations, and complex teaching strategies. The application of speech recognition technology is also an important part of the dyslexi c children evaluation and treatment. A research effort has been done to develop a software environment to help tutors of dyslexic children with the diagnostic and treatment tasks. Nowadays it is being used in several Spanish Schools as part of its validation process.
