Résumé 0

"The aim of this ex post facto study was to describe differences in errors of reading mechanics (corrections, substitutions, rotations, omissions, repetitions, hesitations and additions), reading processes (visual and phonological), ocular motility errors (tracking and saccades), and selective attention in two groups of children with dyslexia or reading delay. By means of an ex post facto design, we compared the two groups, one with altered sensory fusion measured by the optical Worth test (n = 76 students, and the other without altered sensory fusion (n = 123). Results showed that dyslexic students with impaired sensory fusion had more problems in reading mechanics and significantly in inversion errors. However, few differences were found in reading processes, selective attention, and ocular motility, without differences among the groups analyzed. In short, the diagnosis of dyslexia may be affected by alternative measures that should be examined and that would influence the approach to preventive and specialized intervention of dyslexia."
