The LECTIN Network seeks to generate synergy between research and innovation in reading for populations with atypical profiles (people with intellectual disability, autistic people or people with hearing loss).

A high percentage of children with neurodivergence conditions, such as autism spectrum disorders (ASD), sensory deficits like hearing loss or an intellectual disability (ID), display academic difficulties throughout their school life, specially in the area of reading. (Di Blasi et al., 2023; Gómez-Merino et al., 2021; Ratz & Lenhard, 2013). These difficulties run the risk of being detected too late and, therefore, not being given the deserved attention due to the fact that the symptoms of ASD or hearing loss tend to receive the majority of the intervention time. In the ATYPICAL project, we focus on the critical stage of reading acquisition, which occurs during the passage from kindergarten to primary school. The aim is to study the relationship between oral and written comprehension in children with atypical development through patterns of eye inspection of the speaker and the text.
