Prototype Overview

4. Experiencing dyslexia together.
Value Proposition
Experiencing dyslexia together.
Helping students with dyslexia
unpack their load.

5. Problem Statement
Students with dyslexia often feel isolated and left behind in traditional classroom settings, and their families usually lack access to the individualized and project-based learning strategies that are offered in private school.
We want to leverage the power of storytelling and visualization to connect students with dyslexia on a virtual platform so that they can share and reflect upon their collective experiences with a supportive community.
