Our research validate the SICOLE-R multimedia battery for assessing cognitive and reading skills in Spanish-speaking children, focusing on its effectiveness in diagnosing dyslexia and guiding personalized education. Recent developments in our field include the increasing use of technology for dyslexia screening, particularly through multimedia tools like SICOLE-R. These tools assess both domain-general and domain-specific skills with a focus on Spanish-speaking populations.
Well, current experimental challenges include ensuring the tool's generalizability to diverse population, addressing the demographic factors like age and dialect, evaluating its long-term validity, integrating it into broader educational framework, and incorporating emerging neurological technologies to advance dyslexia assessment. Our protocol offers the advantage of our comprehensive multimedia base assessment that evaluates both domain-general and domain-specific cognitive skill related to dyslexia. Unlike old techniques, it provides a detailed analysis tailored to Spanish-speaking children, enhancing diagnostic accuracy and the effectiveness of interventions.
In the future, our laboratory will focus on exploring how the SICOLE-R can enhance the response intervention model for a Spanish-speaking population. Specifically, we will investigate it roles as a complementary tool for conducting detailed cognitive assessment of children who do not progress beyond Tier-3 in RTI, building on our decade of research in implementing RTI in these communities.
