Findings indicated that interventions for children with dyslexia were effective for the studies’ targeted outcomes (e.g., perceptual skills, memory, attention). Included literature from Malaysia mostly focused on multisensory and multimedia approaches for dyslexia intervention. Although the findings indicated the effectiveness of interventions to improve literacy and cognitive functions, the authors were unable to conclude which interventions were effective for specific deficits.
