Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	In presence RRT - prototype software	Rhythmic Reading Training (RRT) is a prototype software which includes reading exercises presented simultaneously with a rhythmic stimulation with gradually increasing speed.
BEHAVIORAL	In presence RRT - online platform	RRT is a web application with a client-server structure developed in javascript/php language using open-source support libraries. The server-side system uses a LAMP stack (Linux, Apache, Mysql, Php) on Server Cloud. The application can also be activated as a desktop application through "portable web server" installation systems, available for linux, windows and OS operating systems. In this form, the application can also be used in contexts without an Internet connection. The system is also accessible from tablets. RRT consists of a module of progressive reading exercises. The exercises are organized according to different types (syllables, words, non-words, short texts) and accompanied by a rhythmic-melodic stimulation, which is coordinated with a visual cue. Both remote (Rhythmic Reading Tele-Training, RRTT) and in presence administration (RRT) are available.
