After a stroke, some people struggle with reading — a condition called acquired dyslexia. This trial uses a computer model to predict what type of reading therapy would work best for each person's specific reading problem. Participants will receive two rounds of intensive therapy to see if getting the therapy the computer predicts is better than receiving the other type.
Reading problems after stroke can be caused by different underlying issues in the brain. By using a computer model to match each person's therapy to their specific problem, researchers hope to make recovery more effective than using a one-size-fits-all approach.

You will attend therapy sessions 5 days a week for 2 hours each day, for two 60-hour blocks of treatment (about 6 weeks each). You'll receive one type of reading therapy in the first block — either phonological therapy (focusing on sounds) or semantic therapy (focusing on word meanings) — based on what the computer model predicts will help you most. In the second block, you may receive the same therapy or switch to the other type, depending on which group you're assigned to. Throughout, researchers will measure how well your reading improves.
