Abstract

This research examines the impact of artificial intelligence tools on supporting individuals with dyslexia, based on a meta-analysis of experimental and quasi-experimental studies published between 2015 and 2025. The study evaluates two complementary dimensions: AI-based prediction and diagnosis systems that improve the accuracy of screening and early identification, and AI-based educational support tools that provide personalised interventions and adaptive learning environments.

The meta-analysis included 12 studies with 2,530 participants (1,186 diagnosed with dyslexia). The results showed a small positive effect of AI integration, which was not statistically significant, alongside considerable heterogeneity across studies, reflecting diverse methodologies and application contexts. Sensitivity analyses confirmed the robustness of these findings, and no significant publication bias was detected.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) thus appears to be a promising tool, especially for the early detection of dyslexia; however, additional research is required to determine its effectiveness in educational interventions. Future studies should adopt harmonized, longitudinal approaches to investigate the factors that influence how AI tools affect learning outcomes.
