Does your kid like playing video games? The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) has created a study for families with children ages 8–10 years old who have a diagnosed reading disorder like dyslexia. They are testing “Engage,” a new video game designed to aid young children (ages 8–10) in the dyslexia community with their focus and reading skills. The goal is to see how easy and helpful it is for families to play the game at home. “Families will complete 30 short game sessions across 6–8 weeks, with caregiver surveys and optional focus groups,” explains Dr. Caroline G. Richter, Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology. Here’s the exciting part: Participants can receive up to $100 in compensation for participating!
