title: A case study of developmental dyslexia in secondary school: a four-year follow-up

description: &lt;b&gt;Description of the project&lt;/b&gt;
This study explored a case of developmental dyslexia in secondary school in a four-year longitudinal follow-up. An intervention was carried out by collecting data from the participant’s school records, applying compensatory strategies, and implementing a dyslexia-specific programme. The theoretical framework was reviewed by analysing the main causative components of this disorder, namely phonological awareness, verbal short-term memory, and naming speed. Justification was given for the need to study individual cases and to conduct a longitudinal study. A dyslexia-specific programme was implemented, including objectives, evaluation indicators, content, activities, and examples of activities. The results showed progress in the student’s development in all affected areas (phonological awareness, verbal short-term memory, and naming speed), displaying overall progress in curricular areas (Spanish, mathematics, social sciences, English, and physical education). Appropriate interventions were shown to influence people with dyslexia, leading to the conclusion that interventions should be tailored as closely as possible to the individual characteristics of subjects. These findings are discussed based on the theoretical explanations of underlying deficits in dyslexia, as well as the need for and limitations of longitudinal studies.

&lt;p&gt;(1) Research materials.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Different instruments, the PROLEC-SE-R (Revised Secondary and Baccalaureate Reading Processes Assessment Battery) and PROLEXIA (Diagnosis and Early Detection of Dyslexia) were given to a secondary school student.The direct scores, the typical scores and the degree of difficulty of this student were obtained in each of the two Tests used.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Academic performance in curricular areas (Spanish, mathematics, history, English, and physical education) was also collected during four academic years.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(2)Data.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Data supporting this research are available in .csv format.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Microsoft Excel, Version 16.66.1 (22101101) was used to collect data from PROLEC-SE-R and PROLEXIA.This Excel file was saved as PROLEC-SE-R and PROLEXIA data in .csv format.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition, Microsoft Excel, Version 16.66.1 (22101101) was used to collect data from academic performance in curricular areas during four years. This Excel file was saved as Academic performance durin
&lt;p&gt;(3)Analysis code.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This case study reports on the work carried out with a secondary school participant.
There are not statistical analyses reported in the manuscript because it is a single participant (Case studies).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is applicable to the raw data files described above.&lt;/p&gt;
