OVERVIEW

DYSLEXIA IS A GENERAL TERM FOR A READING DIFFICULTY IN WHICH A PERSON FINDS IT HARD TO READ, WRITE OR INTERPRET WORDS AND LETTERS. IT IS A LIFE-LONG CHALLENGE THAT PEOPLE ARE BORN WITH. ACCORDING TO RESEARCH, 20% OF AMERICANS HAVE DYSLEXIA. IT AFFECTS PEOPLE DIFFERENTLY, DEPENDING UPON THE SEVERITY AND THE SUCCESS OF ALTERNATIVE LEARNING METHODS. SOME DYSLEXICS CAN HAVE TROUBLE WITH READING, SPELLING, AND WRITING, SOME EVEN HAVE A HARD TIME TELLING LEFT FROM RIGHT. MOST DAILY TASKS REQUIRE THE ABILITY TO READ AND UNDERSTAND SO DYSLEXICS SUFFER THE PAIN OF NOT FEELING LIKE THEY ARE ABLE TO FULLY COMPREHEND AND COMMUNICATE EVERYTHING, GRAPHIC DESIGN COMES INTO PLAY TO HELP SOLVE THAT PROBLEM.

 

OBJECTIVE

TO IMPROVE LITERACY SKILLS AMONG DYSLEXICS.

 

APPROACH

ONE OF THE OPPORTUNITY GAPS THAT AROSE FROM MY RESEARCH IS THAT WORD IDENTIFICATION OR READING DIFFICULTY TRAVELS WITH DYSLEXICS EVERYWHERE. ALTHOUGH IT MAY FIRST EXHIBIT ITSELF IN SCHOOL BUT IT MAY EXIST IN ALL PARTS OF DAILY LIFE THAT INVOLVE WRITTEN WORDS AND LANGUAGE. MY THESIS OFFERS DYSLEXICS A WAY TO INTERACT WITH WORDS MORE EASILY. FORWORD IS AN APP THAT WILL HELP PEOPLE WITH DYSLEXIA ESTABLISH BETTER WORD RECOGNITION AND UNDERSTANDING.
