AB - Purpose– The objective of this paper is to present a comprehensive literature

survey on dyslexic learners and to propose a model for integrated assistive
technology of dyslexic learners. Design/methodology/approach– The use of the
proposed model through real-life scenarios categorized as “phonological, reading
and writing scenarios”. We have also surveyed some systems for use with dyslexic
learners currently in use and have compared them on the basis of number of
barriers, technological innovation, age group and fostering. Findings– Dyslexic
learners are characterized by slow learning, poor handwriting, poor spelling skills
and difficulties in planning, organizing, revising and editing texts; technology
plays a major role in the educational environment; it has become crucial in
impacting knowledge across the globe; and open research issues and challenges that
have to be addressed in the design of the current dyslexic system have been
presented in detail. Research limitations/implications– Full implementation of the
proposed model and its application in developing countries. Practical implications–
The system improves the phonological awareness, reading and writing skills of
dyslexic learners and it provides a solution for children as well as adults with
dyslexia. Social implications– This survey can be used as a reference guide to
understand learning barriers and intelligent systems for dyslexic learners and to
promote the use of these in schools for those with learning disabilities who need
assistive technologies. Originality/value– Development of a newly proposed
integrated intelligent assistive system for dyslexic learners; knowledge generation
as a reference guide to understand dyslexic learning ability in general and an
intelligent assistive dyslexic system in particular; and survey of open research
issues and challenges to further research in intelligent dyslexic systems.
