    BuDdY is an app to help children with dyslexia(learning disability).
    The project is provided with pre-incubation by Cisco thingqbator.
    Learning disability refers to a cluster of symptoms which indicate difficulties in acquiring language skills such as reading, spelling, writing, comprehension during conventional classroom instruction. Learning disability makes it very difficult for a student to succeed academically in the normal instructional environment and in its severe form, qualify a student for special education or extra support services.

    Dyslexia is the most common learning disability, and nearly 70%-80% of students diagnosed with LD have deficits in reading. It is characterized by a core deficit in reading that manifests despite normal intelligence, equal opportunity and adequate instruction. It has a worldwide incidence of 5-20%. The incidence of dyslexia in India is believed to be 15%. There are 228,994,454 students enrolled in recognized schools, which brings our count of dyslexic Indian children to nearly 35 million.

    Two primary reasons why dyslexia remains undiagnosed in India are:

    1. Lack of sufficient awareness amongst school, teachers and parents

    2. Absence of appropriate standardized screening and assessment tools in Indian languages.

    User Persona
    Children with Dyslexia (Age 5-7)
    Children with Dyslexia (Age 8-10)
    Parents
    Schools/ Teachers

    This app aims at helping the child with a personalised plan developed using machine learning such that he/she might be able to overcome the adversity of a learning disability and go on to become a successful adult. Since India currently have negligible awareness and have a much higher percentage(10% more than the world's average) of children having dyslexia there is a lot of work which is needed to be done in this field. This app will equip the parents, teachers and children so that they might be able to manage and overcome the effects of dyslexia.
