EduCare: Assistive Technology for Children with Learning Disabilities

Traditional education systems often fall short in addressing the unique needs of children with learning disabilities such as Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and Cerebral Palsy (CP). These challenges are especially prominent among children aged 8 to 13, a critical period for foundational learning in literacy and numeracy. The absence of inclusive and personalized learning tools further widens the educational gap for these students. Assistive Technology (AT) has emerged as a powerful solution to support individualized instruction and promote better learning outcomes. This paper presents EduCare, an assistive learning system developed to teach English and Mathematics to children with learning disabilities. EduCare employs a multisensory approach—incorporating visual aids, auditory cues, and interactive activities—to introduce core concepts such as alphabets, words, sentences, and numbers. It also offers personalized evaluations and generates detailed progress reports for parents and teachers. By adapting to diverse learning styles, EduCare fosters greater engagement, comprehension, and supports inclusive education
