A Systematic Comparative Analysis of Reading Interventions
We conducted a systematic comparative review of ten widely used interventions, including Orton‑Gillingham, Wilson, Barton, LiPS, Nessy, the Davis Method, Beyond Decodables, Equipped for Reading Success, EBLI, and the Pavlidis Method, using PRISMA 2020 standards, the GRADE framework, and attention to cross‑linguistic applicability. Based on these results we've added a decision framework to guide parents and educators in selecting evidence‑aligned interventions.
A Systematic Comparative Review of Executive Function Intervention Programs
This review looked at the research behind eight major types of non‑medication programs, including working‑memory training (like Cogmed), computer‑based brain‑training apps, classroom behavior plans, organizational‑skills coaching, mindfulness programs, neurofeedback, and structured exercise.
A Systematic Comparative Synthesis of Artificial Intelligence Applications for Dyslexia Learners
Findings show that AI‑based detection methods achieve high technical accuracy in controlled settings, while assistive technologies consistently improve reading comprehension and written expression. Adaptive learning platforms demonstrate the strongest evidence base, whereas neurotechnology‑AI hybrids remain early‑stage. A 2025 meta‑analysis included in the review reports a small but positive overall effect of AI‑supported interventions, tempered by methodological variability and limited clinical validation. The study concludes that AI holds significant potential to expand early identification and personalize instruction for dyslexic learners, but only if development is paired with safeguards against algorithmic bias, equitable digital access, and integration within evidence‑based literacy frameworks.
After The Diploma: A Look at the Post-High School Pathways For Neurodivergent Young Adults
A Systematic Comparative Synthesis of Communication and Social-Skills Intervention Programs for Autistic Learners
This study takes a deep look at eight of the most widely used approaches, from well‑known programs like PECS and Hanen More Than Words to developmental models like ESDM and JASPER, as well as teen‑focused programs like PEERS, and newer tools such as video modeling and robot‑assisted learning. The goal was simple: help families understand what works, for whom, and why.
A Data Investigation into How America's Schools Perform Their Duty to Find Struggling Learners
This paper investigates the Child Find program implemented and supported by IDEA under the American Disabilities Act. A deep dive into when, where and how the system is implemented and the underwhelming results.
EDBD - Explainable Digital Biomarker for Dyslexia Manuscript
This paper reports a complete, five-phase translational research program undertaken by Neuro Navigation, Inc. toward the development of an Explainable Digital Biomarker for Dyslexia (EDBD): a transparent, evidence-based, low-cost instrument designed to estimate dyslexia probability within a fifteen- to twenty-minute digital session and to help schools, clinicians, and families act sooner.
