Scientologists claim they can cure dyslexia. Tom Cruise is a member ..and he’s dyslexic ..so it sounds credible. I work with a foundation that gives grants to people studying reading disorders. It's a tough problem to beat. Last year they gave me an assignment to find out whether Scientology’s claims have any scientific merit. It didn’t take me long to see that they don’t publish their methods in the scientific literature. I couldn’t find any studies to support claims that the teachings of L. Ron Hubbard help people with dyslexia. There are a lot of personal testimonials from followers like Tom Cruise ..but no verifiable results.
