Fortunately, neuropsychological stimulation in dyslexia allows children to “unwind”, learn and overcome dyslexia.

The performance of neurorehabilitation activities that require the involvement of different processes allows a more comprehensive and realistic approach to how our brain works and how it recovers after suffering brain damage. Nowadays, new technologies allow us to perform these integrated tasks in an effective and motivating way for patients. As a result, we promote …
