Detailed Description

This study investigates learning assistance technologies for individuals with dyslexia—a cognitive disorder that challenges conventional teaching methods. Combining secondary research with primary insights from observations in special schools and interviews with educators and parents, the project identifies key difficulties faced by dyslexic learners. Using affinity mapping to analyze collected data, recurring challenges such as time awareness, multisensory learning needs, focus maintenance, information retention, brain-hand coordination, and expressive communication were uncovered. Empathy mapping further informed the design process, shaping user-centered solutions. The study emphasizes innovative, inclusive design interventions tailored to the unique needs of dyslexic individuals, contributing to the evolving landscape of dyslexia support and setting the foundation for future research and improvement in learning technologies.
