TRIAL RESULTS SUMMARY
POLICY IMPLICATIONS OF THE DYSOLVE® RANDOMIZED FIELD TRIAL
Dysolve’s efficacy was evaluated independently in a randomized controlled trial (RCT). Such RCT studies are relatively rare and are widely recognized by experts as the “gold standard” for rigorous evaluation of program impacts.
"With this RCT, Dysolve joins an exclusive group of education interventions that have been subjected to the most rigorous test of their impact on student learning...too many interventions are adopted in schools and classrooms despite having zero rigorous evidence of impact."
— Center for Research in Education and Social Policy, University of Delaware
KEY FINDINGS AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS
Without any service interruption, Dysolve AI generated individualized game activities in realtime to evaluate and correct processing difficulties quickly.
RCT: Dysolve AI identified the type and severity of deficits for each person within 2 hours on average. Nearly half the schools had at least one Dysolve user attain reading proficiency within 3 months.
Some Dysolve users made huge reading gains.
RCT: The biggest gains were seen by Dysolve users in nearly 90% of schools. Some students advanced from <10th percentile to the 50th within 2.5 months (e.g., from 1st -> 76th, 4th -> 91st).
Dysolve worked for diverse, lowest-performing readers.
RCT: Positive effect even though 70% of schools started with 1 or more pupils at the 1st percentile. Nearly half the schools had 90- 100% of pupils at/below 10th percentile or 2 grades below pre-Dysolve.
Dysolve is an economical solution.
RCT: Dysolve did not require teacher instruction. This plug-and-play program was supervised by school staff who did not require expertise or orientation training.
Dysolve AI is more effective than any other dyslexia screener, evaluation and intervention.
RCT: For 100% of students who completed Dysolve’s evaluation, deficit areas were identified. Dysolve AI only needed this evaluation data to develop interventions that surpassed controls’ outcomes overall.
A college junior asked me, “Do you think AI will affect much of our lives?” The pace of change has accelerated to the point that one can no longer wait for authorities for guidance. Everyone is struggling to keep up. So what should I say to this junior?

Grandparent engagement is likely going to increase, given demographic trends. Longer life expectancy and changing family structures have expanded grandparents’ roles in their grandchildren’s lives. More grandparents are actively engaged in efforts to maintain or improve their grandchildren’s well-being.
The pandemic impacted early language development, and emerging effects are alarming.
- COVID-caused disruptions to home and school life hurt early language development more than expected.
- Linguistic development is considerably delayed in children who were 0 to 6 years old during the pandemic.
- The incidence of speech-language impairment has doubled in some regions.
- Schools report they are at the breaking point in dealing with rising needs and costs.

Fifteen months ago, Dysolve, an innovative AI-driven solution for dyslexia developed by Dr. Coral Hoh, began to show promising results in addressing dyslexia at a foundational level. In the time since, it has become clear that the need for a comprehensive language intervention extends beyond dyslexia, particularly as the learning loss resulting from disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has come to light. Dysolve’s mission to address dyslexia through generative AI-driven games has become even more crucial.
