A comprehensive case study on the effective interventions for reversing reading disorder
Main Article Content
Abstract
Reverse Reading Disorder (RRD) is a rare and complex learning condition wherein learners can only process text written in reverse order, resulting in significant educational barriers. Despite its profound impact, empirical research on effective intervention strategies for RRD remains scarce. This study addresses this critical gap by evaluating the effectiveness of a personalized, multi-sensory intervention approach tailored for a student diagnosed with RRD. The research involved comprehensive diagnostic procedures, including standardized reading assessments, cognitive evaluations, and reviews of social, familial, and medical histories. Medical professionals confirmed the absence of neurological impairments. An individualized intervention plan was implemented over four years, incorporating visual, auditory, kinaesthetic, and tactile modalities. Instructional methods included reverse reading exercises, phoneme-grapheme training, and adaptive strategies designed to accommodate the student's unique learning profile. The findings demonstrate a significant reduction in reading errors, improved fluency, and enhanced comprehension. Assessment data reflected measurable progress in standardized reading tests and positive behavioural feedback from educators and support staff. This study underscores the importance of intensive diagnostics and adaptive, student-centred instructional design in addressing rare learning disorders such as RRD, and calls for broader recognition and research into individualized educational interventions.

Open access to the results of publicly funded research is of huge value, offering significant social and economic benefits. The open access publishing model, defined by the Berlin Agreement in 2003, improves the pace, efficiency, and value of research to society. By its very nature, it improves the visibility of authors' work and enables better scholarly exchange, and therefore, the potential impact of that work.
By eliminating the barriers that block the free distribution of knowledge, open access enables scientists to collaborate better, innovate faster, and deliver the solutions we need for healthy lives on a healthy planet.
