Abstract

Modern world, technology has revolutionized many fields. But in case of diagnosis of learning disabilities, we still relay on the traditional methods of diagnosis which involves tedious assessments and requires medical assistance. IDOL focusses on reducing this manual assessment and replaces it with a more reliable and accurate digital assessment. Dyslexia, Dyscalculia and Dysgraphia are prominent learning disabilities. They affect the way a person learns new things throughout their life. Dyslexia is very common in India. There are more than 10 million cases per year in India. Dyslexia is a learning disorder characterized by difficulty in reading. The condition is chronic and self-diagnosable. But a lot of people struggle to find the correct resources to diagnose the disability and some don't know how to proceed. IDOL is a solution to such issues. The application mainly focuses on dyslexia different modules which concentrates on two major learning disabilities: Dyslexia and dysgraphia. A simple assessment that consists of questions on literacy based on the age group of the user. The user can be a student, a teacher or a parent. Any individual can take the test. The test takes less than 5 minutes to complete but is efficient in testing the user. This can be a potential and time-saving way to diagnose dyslexia rather than the conventional method of diagnosing dyslexia by scans and medical procedures.
