The best medicine ever.

It Could Help Kids With Dyslexia

Recommended Videos

Dyslexia is an incredibly common learning disability that has a variety of different theories about how to best deal with it. Researchers at Oxford University believe dyslexia should be treated as an attention issue that might be able to be improved with the help of video games. Researchers explain that video games do a great job of training the brain’s attention system. When you really think about it, what else can easily command your attention for hours at a time without you even realizing it? Well, other than Facebook.

Either way, video games force players to stay focused on varying tasks for long periods of time and it turns out that that’s the kind of exercise that could make a huge difference for someone struggling with dyslexia.
