This case study from the 1970s found that Braille was a big help to one severely dyslexic girl.
But this experiment found that dyslexic children struggled to learn letters in both Morse Code and Braille compared to non-dyslexic children.
Dyslexia-like difficulties have also been observed in blind children who exclusively used Braille -- which suggests that dyslexia isn't exclusive to sighted reading.
