Visual word recognition of a profoundly deaf girl (AH) with developmental reading disorders was explored using an experimental technique that measures performance as a function of eye fixation within a word. AH’s fixation-dependent word recognition profile revealed that she was inferring the identity of words using a ‘‘logographic’’ reading strategy (i. e., using salient visual features). Following this observation a special training program that enhances the understanding of grapheme–phoneme relations was applied. After few months of training, AH’s reading skills improved, while her fixation-dependent performance changed to become like that of normal readers. We discuss the impact of our technique for the early diagnosis of reading impairments.
