Abstract [English]

Developmental dyslexia presents significant cognitive challenges in reading and language processing across various age groups. Effective interventions play a crucial role in ameliorating these challenges. This meta-analysis is aimed to comprehensively review and synthesize the existing literature on interventions for developmental dyslexia spanning children, adolescents, and adults from 1990 to 2023 through the use of cognitive techniques as well as technological tools. A systematic search was conducted across multiple electronic databases, including PubMed, Google Scholar, and PsycINFO. Inclusion criteria encompassed peer-reviewed studies focusing on interventions specifically designed for developmental dyslexia across different age groups. Meta-analyses, systematic reviews, and randomized controlled trials were prioritized. A total of [50] studies met the inclusion criteria, comprising interventions targeting developmental dyslexia. The synthesized findings revealed a diverse range of intervention approaches, including phonological training, multisensory techniques, assistive technologies, and cognitive remediation. Additionally, analyses highlighted variations in intervention effectiveness across age groups. This meta-analysis underscores the importance of tailored interventions for developmental dyslexia across the lifespan. While certain interventions demonstrate promise, variations in efficacy across age groups necessitate further investigation and the development of personalized approaches to address the multifaceted nature of dyslexia.
