BacaDisleksia
Based on years of experience and research in suitable interaction design (IxD) for dyslexic children, BacaDisleksia design is made tailored to specific affective attributes that could potentially reduce the difficulties in reading for dyslexic children. Using the approach of design thinking, guided with IxD principles, we carefully design of the interface, the content, and the behavior of the reading support application/tool to ease dyslexic children reading. The products, both the software and its supporting reading board (the Papan Sintok), when used together we call it ReYoWay, can potentially meet the demand of parents and teachers with dyslexic children or children with learning difficulties (struggling learners). Most importantly, the children get to have fun while learning the very basic skills they need to master – spelling and reading.
