description Sonification is merely a new research field. It is defined as the representation of data or information using non-speech sound. Dyslexia is a specific learning difficulty that causes a person who has dyslexia to have problems in reading, writing, spelling or manipulating numbers even though they have normal intelligence and were exposed to sufficient education and training. This research aims to find out whether sonification concept can be used in the design of assistive tools for dyslexic students. Before any sonification based assistive tools can be designed, it is important to understand the fundamental issues, which are the listening performances of dyslexic peoples. Based on the tasks used in measuring usability properties of sonification applications, a listening test experimental design was developed and the performance results were analyzed. The overall results show that people who have dyslexia can be concluded as equivalent to normal people in performing general tasks in sonification concepts. However, there are some interesting results that might need to be taken into consideration for future research enhancements.
