Dyslexia.Review

Up to 20% of the world’s population could be struggling with dyslexia, according to Yale, and I am one of those people. I am on a mission to create a product I wish I had when I was a struggling student in Japan where dyslexia was not recognized.

 

​

This product supports people with dyslexia by providing:​

  1. User Rated Resources 

  2. Discussion Platform

  3. Accessibility Settings 

Do you have Dyslexia? We Need Your Help!!

I am designing a platform that is easy to use for people with dyslexia, so your input is very important 💯

I will reach out when help is needed 🙏

The Problem 

People with dyslexia fail to accomplish their academic goals as successfully as neurotypicals. 

  • ​For the initial problem discovery, I noticed that people with dyslexia have a hard time succeeding in school without the help of digital accommodations. Researchers predict "only 34% of students with dyslexia will graduate from college within eight years" (NLTS2, 2011)

​

  • From my personal experience, I even had to move countries to receive my accommodation since Japan wasn't providing me any help and I was failing no matter how much I studied. After relocating to America, I finally received the accommodations and resources I needed to succeed in school, which enabled me to graduate from both high school and college.

​

  • I first collected data from thirteen target users, people with dyslexia or people who have major challenges with reading and/or writing. I was able to pinpoint the three problems that people with dyslexia were having:

  1. Finding a Community to Talk to for Advice

  2. Lack of Reliable Resources

  3. Accessibility Needs

​

  1. User Rated Resources Page

  2. Discussion Platform

  3. Accessibility Settings tailored for people with dyslexia

Solution 

Provide Users with Accessible Resources.

My foundation is focused on finding new ways to help support people with dyslexia.

I addressed the three user pain points by providing:​

​

​

​

​

​

With the customizable accessibility option, users can find their ideal settings to help their reading techniques.

​

Dyslexia-Friendly UI Design:

To ensure the product would be accessible, I created a Dyslexia-Friendly Style Guide, distilling best practices from ten articles I found online and incorporating them into my designs.
