Abstract:
Children with dyslexia often struggle at school as
their reading and writing skills are adversely affected. However,
if identified early the necessary support can be provided to help
manage the condition. Unfortunately, a significant number of
dyslexics go undiagnosed and unaddressed which leads to an
increase in the school dropout rate and discontinuation of higher
education. To address this, a cloud-based web application,
LEXIS was designed and developed to screen young children
based on a well-rounded criterion including their background,
behavior, reading, writing, spelling, memory, rapid naming and
math abilities. An immediate evaluation including the identified
weaker areas are provided along with effective and interactive
learning modules and activities targeted at improving those
identified areas.
